Research projects: Science or fiction?

Throughout this event we aim to think about and hold debates on the various difficulties that arise when undertaking research projects as part of the upper-secondary school humanities track:  How do schools plan this activity?  How is the topic chosen in each case and discipline?  How can we encourage students to work?  What methodologies should be used in each case?  What materials should be used?  What type of monitoring is undertaken or should be undertaken? How are these types of projects analysed suitably? 

Renowned experts and professors will help us to reflect and hold a debate on these and other subjects that can subsequently be applied in the classroom and also in schools.
