GlobalSCAPE has been seeking to learn about the perspectives of science communicator’s across the globe, especially those working in countries that often do not receive as much attention from the global community as they deserve.
Workshop topics
To this end, Leiden University has developed two thematic workshops that connect science communication practitioners with some of the latest research in science communication.
- Global Relevance in Science Communication: This workshop explores how science communicators can practice their work in a globally relevant way that acknowledges and reflects the efforts of science communicators across the globe, as well as the diverse audiences and institutions they work with.
Justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) in Science Communication: This workshop considers how we can focus on JEDI to deliver more inclusive and responsive science communication with and for our varied global communities. To ensure that as a global field, science communication strives to promote equitable practices and can contribute to global citizens as a force for justice in the world.
How?
These workshops are provided as an open access resource, freely available for anyone to download and adapt and use within their own contexts. Before the release of these workshops, we will be delivering a set of free online sessions in February 2023, for all interested practitioners to attend and experience the workshops first hand.
When?
The workshops will be offered from Feb. 10-22.
