For the afternoons, we have devised various scientific activities that participants are encouraged to take part in. They will allow us to exchange and create ideas in an intense, joyful, serious and original atmosphere. Below, we have listed some examples for the activities we have in mind.
Philosophical Walk.
Embark on a bold adventure deep into the forests and fields with a particularly fierce and thorny philosophical question.
Escape-game.
Physics and maths have probably never been so important as we work to escape from this challenging predicament!
New games and riddles.
Bored with standard games? Try some new scientific games or invent your own!

A tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats. It provides a mean for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
Scientific Tale.
Write a science-related short story which will be read in the evening just before bed.
Debating.
Discuss a polemical question following the debating rules (two teams defend pros and cons).
