Storytelling Ministry
CMB is the KI base of the outreach programme "Research journey of Editor Schwartz", developed and organized with the foundation Berättarministeriet.se. The programme focuses on co-operation with schools in socioeconomically challenged areas in the Stockholm region. The school programme is a journey to the world of Science, where the children practice defining and solving scientific problems, and as superb fantasy experts spend a day at KI, giving the researchers new ideas for groundbreaking research in medicine. Every year, about 200 children in the age group 10-11 years participate in the programme. The researchers participating in the programme come from different departments at KI.
