Wednesday 17 November 2021

This workshop will start with a variety of simple exercises designed to help you communicate your research directly to non-specialist audiences. From there we will look at the variety of audiences and delivery possibilities for engagement locally, nationally and globally.

We will briefly consider public engagement as a pathway to impact and how to design evaluation as proof of impact. Those who wish to can arrange to meet with Francesca at a later date to develop individual public engagement plans.

By the end of this workshop you should be able to:

  • Confidently deliver simple, established public engagement exercises such as Meet the Expert.
  • Describe your research in conversational terms to non-specialists in 4 sentences or less.
  • Start developing a research and/or project specific plan for public engagement delivery.
  • Discover opportunities for public engagement delivery locally, nationally and globally.
