Earlier this year Tim Lenton contributed to a creative day hosted by Kaleider – an arts incubator based here in Exeter. The day started exploring the artistic exploration and response to the question “What do we do with the last barrel of oil?”
A fascinating video of the day really highlights how exciting and stimulating interdisciplinary, collaborative events like this can be.
Is your research in the area of sustainable energy production? Would you be interested in developing your communication skills and engaging the public with your work?
Our friends in Graphic Science have developed an exciting event that enables community groups to grapple with the complex decisions associated with meeting our future energy needs and we need your help to run the sessions.
Graphic Science will train you and make sure you have everything you need for the sessions. It’s a great opportunity to develop some valuable skills and get involved with fun, interactive public engagement on a subject that really matters!
Your commitment:
Attend a one-day training session to learn everything you need to know
Be available to run one or more sessions in community groups in your area (this is likely to be in an evening meeting). You will be running the sessions in pairs.
How we support your involvement:
Give you a one-day training that enables you to run sessions with confidence
Give you all the materials and equipment you need to run the sessions
Liaise with community groups to organise the sessions
Reimburse your travel expenses
Offer on-going support
