A third children’s science magazine has been released by La Liberté.

The magazine, titled Teamwork Against the Coronas!, is the third in the St. Boniface-based, French-language newspaper’s Sciences Mag Junior series.

The series is intended to educate and empower children and their families during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The new publication follows on the heels of the second edition in the series,

Together against the Coronas!was published in the winter of 2020, and the first edition in the series, No Mercy for the Coronas, which was published in the spring of 2020.

Sophie Gaulin, the editor-in-chief and publisher of La Liberté, originally came up with the idea tocollaborate on a magazine after her two young kids started asking questions about the pandemic — which was then in its early stages — and why people were having to change their behaviours because of it.

Gaulin and her team once again collaborated with a number of contributors, including associate professor of immunology Jean-Eric Ghia, who served as the magazine’s scientific director.

“Not only have these magazines allowed La Liberté to go beyond Manitoba’s borders, but the quality of our scientific and educational content has shattered Canadian borders,” Gaulin said in the release.

“It is wonderful to imagine our magazines (travelling) by dugout canoe to remote villages in French Guiana on the border with Suriname and Brazil, and to see them deployed in schools in this French territory.

“It is also wonderful to imagine how this third issue will contribute to a better understanding of the history of medicine, and how it will allow readers to identify the most advanced public health issues,” she added.

The first two Sciences Mag Junior editions have been downloaded more than 200,000 times. The digital version of Teamwork Against the Coronas! is available in French and English.
