What does it mean to you to be a teacher?
It's the best profession there is. Every day, every year is different. Being a teacher means being part of the development of human beings, trying to inspire them and make them better citizens, making them use knowledge to make the best choices. Being a teacher is not only about teaching, but also about learning. To be a teacher is to be lucky enough never to leave school.
Describe Science on Stage in three words:
Impactful, transformative, collaborative.
How did you get involved with Science on Stage?
I learned about Science on Stage while looking for STEM activities for my Physics and Chemistry classes on the internet. I found amazing videos from Science on Stage. I immediately searched for more and found videos from various festivals. I was fascinated and quickly looked for ways to join this wonderful group.
In 2019 I only went as a visitor to Science on Stage Cascais and I loved it, I took part in the next festival and in 2022 I went to the festival in Prague with the project ‘Nature Answers’. Since then I've been involved with Science on Stage, I've taken part in Webinars and collaborated in the realisation of some resources. It's been very rewarding.
