Cafe sci in school
The three-year pilot stage of cafe sci in school has been a great
success. Currently, some seventy schools across the north of England (the focus
area for the project) are engaged in the project at some stage, from initial
interest to self-sustaining cafe. A further thirteen schools outside the project
area are also involved.
In
January 2008, we applied for new funding from the Wellcome Trust to extend and
enhance the project; an application in which, happily, we were successful.
This next
phase of the project will begin in September 2008 and last for two years. Our
aim is to shift the project focus from initial start-up to longer-term planning
and strategy. The proposed development programme is intended to bridge the gap
between the pilot phase and the final ‘embedded’ stage.
