Science communication for everyone, by everyone

As the Flemish public broadcaster, VRT aims to inform, inspire, and connect all Flemish citizens. In today’s everchanging media landscape, emerging technologies define new circumstances for getting your message across. This brings with it significant challenges when the story you want to tell is not a straightforward one. To collect some insights and best practices, we asked vlogger Jacotte Brokken to interview colleagues at VRT about their approach for communicating science stories.

On designing Data Drama

On the 8^th of September 2021, a number of school students from the Lahti area joined students of Theatrum Olga, Suomen Diakoniaopisto, to take part in a Data Drama experience, which used embodied approaches to data exploration. The purpose of Data Drama is to provide a more-than-human context for people that are not used to working with data. The experience aims to inspire them and make them feel comfortable to engage with data.

ReThink ReMake ReCycle at the Digital Living Lab Days 2021

Participatory approaches such as citizen science offer the potential to open up research to society, yet the majority of people participating are affluent and well-educated. At ENoLL’s Digital Living Lab Days 2021 in September, KWMC’s Lorraine Hudson shared experiences from the UK case study “ReThink ReCycle ReMake“, where the Bristol Living Lab collaborated with people typically underrepresented in science – those who face social economic disadvantage and Black, Asian and other minority ethnic communities. KWMC had a practitioner presentation accepted through the conference peer review process, which was attended by 391 people.

How we define key terms within the ParCos project

ParCos is exploring creative and inclusive approaches to science communication and ways to support people in sharing their own science stories. Accuracy and clarity are important in both effective communication and honest science, so in the spirit of these principles we have produced a glossary to explain what we mean by specific words and phrases that are often used within ParCos. The glossary is the result of a workshop with ParCos project partners, who are active in different sectors and contributed based on their respective contexts. We recognise that others may define and use these words differently, but hope that this glossary can be useful in revisiting the meaning and impact of this specific terminology.
