Ciências in Harmony promotes well-being and complements the academic experience of the CIÊNCIAS Community
Ciências in Harmony
Here, harmony is the goal:
to learn, work and live better as a community
What is
Ciências in Harmony?
Ciências in Harmony is a project run by CIÊNCIAS dedicated to promoting well-being and developing the individual and social skills of its community.
From students to teaching staff, non-teaching staff, researchers and administrative staff, we all share the same space for much of our day. It is in this context that we seek to bring greater harmony to this institution that is CIÊNCIAS.
Why? Because in harmony:
we learn better
it is easier to believe in our abilities
interpersonal relationships are strengthened
we derive greater satisfaction from what we do
Throughout the school year, Ciências in Harmony runs a meeting place with a variety of activities, designed to cater for the community’s diverse interests and diversity.
