Two workshops in collaboration with the Same Migrant Community Programme of the Native Scientists organization were organized for the first time in Spain. The workshops took place in two schools in Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, and the participants were children with ages between 11 and 12 years old who were learning Portuguese or belonged to Portuguese-speaking migrant communities. The workshop allowed the children to interact with 4 native Portuguese-speaking scientists currently working in Navarre and the Basque Country, in a speed dating format. The children were divided into groups of 4 or 5 and interacted with the scientists and the materials they brought for 15 min, passing by each scientist throughout the workshop. In total, 42 children participated in the workshop, which had experiments from fields as diverse as neuroscience, microbiology, virology, and physics. The workshop ended with receiving feedback from the children and granting them a certificate. Pre and post-workshop sheets were also collected to evaluate the impact of the workshop on the children and how was/is their view of science and multiculturalism. The workshop was coordinated by Sofia Ferreira Teixeira, the Portuguese Coordinator in Spain of Native Scientists, MSCA postdoctoral fellow at CIC nanoGUNE, and an MCAA member. The scientists were Madalena Gamboa, an MSc student from CIC nanoGUNE, Liliana Teixeira, a postdoctoral researcher from CIC biomaGUNE, Francisca Matias, an MSCA PhD student from BCBL, and Emilia Chuina Tomazeli, the doctor from the Universidad Pública de Navarra. The Portuguese teacher from Instituto Camões assisting was Daniela Teles.
