Analuce Canha and Inma Pérez, together with a team of researchers from the University of Granada, coordinated the LEEILO Teaching Innovation project (“What is essential is invisible to the eye”) last academic year, aimed at training students of Medicine, Nursing and Biochemistry. The aim of this project was to train students in scientific communication through outreach activities in the Hospital Classroom at the Virgen de las Nieves Hospital.
This project helped to foster the skills and motivation of school-age children who, for health reasons, are unable to make normal use of educational services. Through educational activities focusing on concepts in reproductive biology, the aim was to make their hospital stay as bearable and stimulating as possible.
On 26 May 2023, the project’s closing ceremony took place, during which the participating students presented the science communication materials they had created for the activities in the Hospital Classroom and shared their experiences of the project with us.
We hope to return with a new edition this academic year!
