International Day of Women and Girls in Science

IRD_Cambodge_2

On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Dynadiv team met with 1,300 students (from primary to final year of high school) at Happy Chandara School, south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia—an institution committed to educating young girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Dany Koun and Clémence Aujogue led a booth on the diversity of food plants and workshops on the origins of cultivated plants. It was a day rich in exchanges and discoveries, which, we hope, planted a few seeds of scientific curiosity and strengthened the students’ confidence in the diversity of paths open to them.
