| Sumario: | University outreach plays an essential role in bridging academic knowledge and society. In this context, the Laboratory of Invertebrate Biology at the Faculty of Exact Sciences, Natural Sciences and Surveying of the National University of the Northeast (UNNE) has carried out multiple activities targeting different educational levels, with a focus on invertebrates. Through biological collections, workshops, lectures, and hands-on experiences, the laboratory has promoted knowledge about the diversity of invertebrates and their ecological and sanitary relevance, while debunking negative perceptions, especially about organisms such as termites or sanitary-relevant arthropods. The positive impact of these actions has been highlighted by both teachers and students. These experiences demonstrate the transformative potential of university outreach when articulated with participatory, innovative, and sustained practices, building a bridge between science, education, and community. |
