Science and technology are increasingly present on contemporary societies and the ideological requirement of informed democratic citizenship implies the need that individuals learn and understand science. It is both a cultural object and product that can be received and worked at different levels and within several approaches by the individuals and the communities. Part of this work can be addressed by the professionals of sociocultural community development. A set of fields of action is available for the intervention of these workers, therefore giving to these professionals an important part in conquering, with and within the communities, a democratic space where more informed citizens can improve democratic participation. In this text, the options taken by students when designing science related activities within the context of an optional course of a 1st cycle of a portuguese program over the past four years are analysed and discussed. Entertaining activities seem to be a quite common choice among these students.

AbstractWe will examine two novels by Nancy Huston – Les variations Goldberg and Histoire d'Omaya – comparing composition strategies used in the former, characterized by rigid, tighly woven prose, with the seemingly contrasting fragmented structures of the latter. We will attempt to bring out the similarities and differences between these two works while examining how, in this author's work, the fictional tale spreads forth in the telling, as opposed to being told in linear fashion. We will then examine some of the innovative methods that the writer uses, while seeking to determine whether these composition strategies are successful in eliciting and maintening the interest of readers who are thus called upon to play an active role in (re)constructing and (re)creating these tales by Nancy Huston.
