The workshop Worldviews and Values in Synthetic Biology has featured a student event that has provided a valuable input and opened unexpected perspectives regarding public engagement. Engineering students of ENPC ParisTech (Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées) were recruited by Sacha Loeve in the framework of the course "Synthetic Biology: interactions between science, art and society" during the second 2014 term. Working by groups, they had prepared “synthetic debates” on facebook, role-games to allow someone to put her.him.self at the place of another having different opinions and worldviews, and fictions as ways to display and to explore synbio’s repertoire of possibles and imaginaries rather than a hypothetic future.
