The Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the country’s leading public research organization, does not confine itself to the generation of new scientific knowledge. It also sees its task as relaying this knowledge to citizens of all ages. The CSIC en la Escuela project, targeted on the early education classroom, is about teaching children to understand the world they live in. The BBVA Foundation and CSIC advise and train teachers so they not only convey scientific facts but also how to do science, promoting a scientific culture that can serve as a bridge between the groups making up the multicultural fabric of our society.
