Festival of Learning 2017 – support for developing your event idea

BU research, Festival of Learning, Impact, international, Public engagement, Research communication, Training, Uncategorized Joanna Pawlik

fol-colour-logoDo you have a fantastic piece of research that you’d like to develop into a public engagement event but need help or ideas?  Or perhaps you have an existing event that you’d like to make more engaging or take to a new audience? 

Naomi Kay (Public Engagement Officer) and Genna West (Engagement and Impact Facilitator) are on-hand to provide support for planning your event, writing the proposal or just to talk through any ideas you might have.  They will be based in the locations specified below, so please stop by!

If none of the slots suit you or if you would like to speak to either Genna or Naomi specifically, then please feel free to get in touch and set up a meeting to discuss your event plans.

In addition to these drop-in sessions, a dedicated training session will take place on Monday 31 October, focusing specifically on developing a public engagement event.  The workshop will explore:

  • How public engagement can provide an opportunity to share your research with the public
  • Event design for public engagement events
  • How to engage the audience you want to target
  • How best to evaluate your events
  • What makes a good Festival of Learning event, with examples of effective past events

There will be dedicated time and support for individuals to create a new event to submit to the Festival of Learning.  Find out more and book your place via Organisation Development here.
