Together with colleagues from CRI (Centre of Research and interdisciplinarity, France), University of Lyon and Leipzig we are organizing the small workshop in a spirit of the recent exhibition at Palais Tokyo in Paris

There are many summer schools around the globe made for children, adults, in maths, linguistics, astronomy etc.
I prepared a course for children about random walks.
Inspired by several books on this topic (including review about self-avoiding random walks).
First, I explain several problems about the ant walking on a surface.
Then I give example of an ant in the tree and introduce a problem of Localisation in trees -increasing the probability
Finally I talk about sophisticated ant, who is bored to walk where he already was, so he makes self-avoiding walk.
One of the new problems for the summer school about random walks is dedicated to finding easier problems for graphs.
Given two random walks on a chain graph find the corresponding problem with one random walker.
The answer is quite simple: one needs to consider the random walk problem on a square lattice, which would give you the answer
about when two random walkers meet.
Find the same corresponding problem for two random walkers on a tree graph.
p.s. Although it is summer course, the best time to watch random walks is winter.
