The ICS is keenly aware of the importance of disseminating the social sciences among students and teachers in pre-university education, and organizes annual events and internships to provide research experience to young people. ICS researchers are also regularly invited to give lectures in schools of elementary and secondary education.

It usually takes place between June and August each year. The ICS is involved in this initiative, although internships for young students at the ICS started in 2004 with the Permanent Schools Observatory (Observatório Permanente de Escolas), now part of OPJ.
