Abstract
The European Commission has promoted research activities through the European Researchers’ Night since 2005, founded under Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA). Thanks to this event, many cities across Europe celebrate and give public recognition to researchers every November 27 by organising talks, workshops and scientific walks in which researchers are involved. In 2020, despite the circumstances derived from COVID-19, Europe celebrated the European Researchers’ Night in a online format not to let aside the public awareness, among young people above all, of the role of research in society. The University of Extremadura (Spain) also took part of this year’s event, and the Teacher Training College of Cáceres participated with the elaboration of projects to develop online talks and workshops for adults and children. The showcase presented here introduces the online workshop elaborated for the European Researchers’ Night 2020 with the aim of teaching English concepts to children between 6 and 12 years. This online workshop was a “break-out” activity carried out with the tool called Genially and gives importance not only to ICT resources but also opens new possibilities regarding online teaching tools and innovative practices.
