Student science and leadership engagement in Chile and Spain

Overview

Educational and scientific engagement for students has seen significant activity in Chile and Spain. In Chile, the UNESCO Cupo Explora scheme helped eight students from the O’Higgins region secure university placements, with one participant, Ricardo Carrasco, noting the experience was “bastante satisfactoria”.

Further developments in Chile include the IV Formando Líderes UNAB Congress, which gathered over 300 high school students to discuss leadership and civic participation, and the XXI Explora Regional Congress in La Araucanía, where students present research on environmental and social issues such as biodiversity and water management.

In Spain, the AITEX research centre hosted over 1,000 students from the Comunitat Valenciana, providing hands-on laboratory and innovation project exposure to secondary and university-level students.
