Public Engagement: What is it and why should I do it?
We all want people to be interested in our research and understand what we do. Our audience for this is changing and includes people outside of academia; more often it could be school groups, community groups, the media, professional presentations- the scope is wide. But how do we do it? The workshop will cover some key tips and techniques to develop public engagement opportunities for our research; examine broader social contexts for our research; tailor our materials to reach our audience鈥檚 needs.
We will look at the different audiences, different styles and leave with a briefing presentation for our chosen audience. We will source ideas for different opportunities and contacts; and plan our activities. We will look at opportunities for getting involved locally and nationally.
