Public engagement with geosciences with Navigator Consulting

This workshop series is a follow up to the extremely successful public engagement training course run in 2022 by the team at Navigator, and this year they are focusing even more on public engagement challenges for earth, planetary and space scientists. In this course the three experienced public engagement and science communication experts will teach you how to: draw on the available evidence to develop your own public engagement activities; identify the objectives of your activities and the needs of your audiences; deploy appropriate engagement methods to deliver against those objectives; and develop and implement a project development and evaluation plan. The sessions will cover a range of topics from storytelling strategies to connecting with non-traditional audiences.

This workshop series will take place on the 8, 15, 22 November, 13:30-17:00 CET. The sessions will be divided as follows:

Session 1: Why do public engagement, including the importance of thinking about the needs of all participants in an activity, reflecting on diversity and inclusion, and looking at the evidence in favour of public engagement

Session 2: How to do public engagement, introducing some standard public engagement methods, thinking about their strengths and weaknesses, and reflecting on the role of stakeholders

Session 3: Put it into practice! In small groups participants will develop an activity based upon their preferred audience and discuss it with the class
