Leonardology(s)

Lycée Léonard de Vinci

On October 3, 2025, Montpellier's Lycée Professionnel Léonard de Vinci will host the regional opening of the Fête de la Science in Occitanie, opening its doors to a unique event designed for schoolchildren from collège to lycée, through the flagship operation "Léonardologie(s)", under the banner of encounters, sharing and exploration.

Interactive workshops, exhibitions, exchanges with scientists and artists, not forgetting the presentation of a work in progress: the students and teaching staff of the Lycée are fully mobilized to offer a rich and inspiring program, combining science and art.

But the event doesn't stop at the school walls. The University of Montpellier is organizing an artistic and scientific tour of the Mosson district for students from the Léonard de Vinci high school and the Escholiers de la Mosson middle school. Residents, students and passers-by will be able to join in, in a bid to bring science closer to local residents. A work in motion, a neighborhood on the alert, and knowledge in circulation: a powerful moment of citizenship and shared creation.
