The Arctic PASSION EU project starts its Online Seminar and Dialogue Series with a two-part kickoff seminar on science communication during the APECS International Polar Week. Seminar Part I will be on "Storytelling in Science" (22 March) and Part II on "How to produce media in the field" (24 March). Both seminars are independent of each other and either both or only one can be attended.
The EU Project “Arctic PASSION” aims to build a coherent Arctic Observing System that is adjusted to societal needs based on a co-design of knowledge. The Arctic PASSION Online Seminar and Dialogue Series is a tool to communicate project’s topics, share ideas, plans and results, and to initiate an inclusive and proactive dialogue with people from different groups, backgrounds and career levels. It is targeted to Arctic and Indigenous Youth, Early Career Scientists and other interested audiences.
Online seminar part 2: Media Production in the Field
So, you’ve identified your story and how you want to tell it, but now you’ve got to actually go out there and gather the media, on top of doing your actual research. In part 2 of the Polar Week sci comms seminar the organizers will go over how to gather media in the field. They will cover how to identify your story’s needs and how to put together a production plan that allows you to work smarter, not harder. They will also go over some basic photography and videography best practices, what kinds of shots to gather, how to prepare for an interview, and some tips on how best to record audio.
