Science communication bootcamp
2 days • max. 16 participants • on site
Interested into diving deep into science communication? Do you want to see yourself transform into a confident storyteller? Then join a science communication bootcamp!
A clear research story that captivates the audience, and a powerful way to transmit it are key to efficient science communication. If you are a young researcher that wants to improve in these areas, this bootcamp is for you! By joining you will get the complete guide to become a confident storyteller.
In the first module we dive into storytelling theory, using useful and clear techniques to write your own science story. A second module focuses on delivering a presentation: with body language exercises in a safe setting you learn to leave your nerves behind on stage. It all comes together in a roleplaying exercise, where we practice and analyze each other's presentation. You walk away with a personal and concise science story for your next talk. The training comes with a summary booklet filled with useful templates and tips to come back to anytime you need.
