The 2025 edition of Unijunior kicks off on 8 February
The thirteenth edition of Unijunior kicks off on Saturday 8 February at the Unimore Department of Economics (DEMB), the science dissemination project promoted by Unimore with the Leo Scienza Association, aimed at children aged 8 to 13.
The calendar for this edition consists of six days of lectures, always held on Saturdays: three in Modena at the DEMB (8 February, 1 March and 5 April) and three in Reggio Emilia at Palazzo Dossetti (15 February, 8 and 22 March).
On the opening day of Saturday 8 February, four lessons are scheduled: from 3 to 4 p.m., there will be a geometry lesson for children aged 8 to 10 (teacher Michela Maschietto) and a language and translation lesson for children aged 11 to 13 (teacher Annalisa Sezzi); from 4.30 to 5.30 p.m., there will be a lesson on the translation of books, films and cartoons for children aged 8 to 10 and a journey through the history of mathematics for children aged 11 to 13.
Unijunior is a project promoted by the Leo Scienza Association, which Unimore has been supporting since 2010, to offer boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 13 an approach to science and culture, with fun lessons and rich workshop experiences dedicated to topics of great interest.
The novelty of the 2025 edition lies mainly in the fact that differentiated lessons will be offered at the same time for boys and girls in the age group 8-10 years and teenagers between 11 and 13 years. A total of 20 lessons will see Unimore lecturers and researchers engaged in offering students a vast and multidisciplinary programme, including lectures, meetings and appointments with journeys and adventures through nature, art, body and mind, mathematics, chemistry, history, civic education and the depths of our Planet.
The journey will culminate in the grand final celebration on 12 April in Reggio Emilia.
"The Unijunior project represents a bridge between territory and university. The University is transformed into a place that is accessible to all and in particular to the younger generations, who are showing considerable interest in this initiative. To date, just under 400 students have enrolled and many of the scheduled classes are already sold out - commented Milena Bertacchini of the Gemma Museum, coordinator of Unijunior.
Unimore is a member of the European Children's Universities Network, which is part of the University's official Third Mission activities.
