Communicating science to the general public is a shared challenge across geoscientific disciplines. Nevertheless, conveying our messages is of utmost importance, particularly in the context of global challenges. It can be especially fruitful when shared with the youngest, yet most affected, stakeholder group: children.
This interactive short course offers a unique opportunity for scientists, educators, and artists to come together and exchange tools, insights, and experiences related to geoscience education for children. Experts will showcase a wide range of educational materials, concepts, and methods in a “market stall” format, where participants can directly engage and learn about novel ideas in geoscience education for children. All presented materials will be collected and made accessible via an online drive.
The aim of this short course is to share knowledge and available materials on geoscience education for children, connect interested participants, and inspire future collaborations and the development of educational programs.
------ People interested in participating as an expert are invited to contact the session conveners and share their ideas! ------
