« Les Sciences Infusent » : An academic outreach program

Morgane Pique

Résumé

At the University of Lille, there is an outreach program called “Les Sciences Infusent” which makes available academic research to the wider public. This program includes several projects about Assyriology that we have participated in or created. Indeed, we have created a workshop about Mesopotamian gods and goddesses through the Epic of Gilgameš for school programs, another one dealing with the various uses of clay in ancient Mesopotamia and a third workshop about the decipherment of cuneiform and hieroglyphic script with a fellow Egyptologist, both workshops were presented at the “Fête de la Science” in 2020 and 2021. “Les Sciences Infusent” also offers an introduction to cuneiform writing available to elementary and secondary schools since 2013. Among the nine different “Les Sciences Infusent” workshops about the ancient world offered to school teachers in the north of France, the one about cuneiform represents third of the 225 classes booked this year. We wrote part of the reading material for “Mésopotamie - Terre d’argile” exhibition in 2020 which also offered cuneiform writing workshops. This exhibition is now portable and can be borrowed together with playful learning resources . In addition to the exhibition, “Les Sciences Infusent” produced a web documentary about Ancient Mesopotamia called “Mésopotamie : à l’origine de notre civilisation”. The aim of our presentation is to introduce all these resources and workshops offered freely by the University of Lille through the program. We will also present the methods and ideas for public outreach that we have developed through these various experiences and activities as well as our future projects.
