Asking questions, listening, counting: How we’re studying life in the Ahr Valley after the flood
How can we find out how people are doing after a major flood? And how can research help with the recovery effort? Children will learn all this at a Children’s University lecture by Svenja Hippel and Julia Mink as part of the Bonn Children’s University.
Every semester, the University of Bonn invites children between the ages of 8 and 13 to get a taste of university life, learn about science and research, and ask questions.
In their project, Julia Mink and Svenja Hippel are studying life in the Ahr Valley following the 2021 flood. In their presentation, they will explain how ideas become research questions, how a questionnaire is developed, and how numerous responses are transformed into data that policymakers and society can use to better support people.
The event will be in German.
