What to expect from the course

In modern science communication, new scientific findings, social opinions and political priorities often come together. This course focuses on fostering constructive dialogue between research, society, and politics by facilitating exchanges among the various actors and perspectives involved. It aims to promote mutual learning and the collaborative co-production of knowledge.

This training is designed for scientists who have some experience in science communication and wish to explore and apply participatory methods. It aims to help participants navigate the complexities of theories and buzzwords related to participation. Additionally, participants will learn about various participatory formats and develop practical approaches for implementing participatory science communication within their own research areas.

Thematic foci

  • Overview of forms and selected theoretical aspects of participation
  • Objectives / added value and areas of application of Participatory Science Communication
  • Overview of participatory science communication formats
  • Conception of a participatory approach for your own work
  • Identification of suitable participatory formats for your own science communication, including practical implementation tips

Learning Framework

Participatory Science Communication: available formats

Our workshops and courses are available in various formats, tailored to individual learning needs. Whether face-to-face, virtual or as a digital self-study course – each format specifically promotes the development of skills in science communication.

In-person Workshop

Direct exchange and practical application: our face-to-face workshops offer a focused learning environment with a real break away from the daily work routine. The focus here is on direct exchange with trainers and the group. Interactive exercises and practical methods make the content tangible and firmly anchored. The intensive learning experience leaves a lasting impression. Our workshops take place either at your institution or in the NaWik course room.

Online workshop

Location-independent learning in the virtual course room: our online training courses bring participants together online at fixed seminar times. The units – two or three half days – can be easily integrated into everyday working life. Each training session is accompanied live by two trainers and takes place in small groups to enable intensive exchange and individual feedback.

Presenting Science

Researchers often have to present their topics to a wide audience in a convincing and entertaining way. This format teaches how to tailor appearance and presentation to the target group. The focus is on providing a clear structure, easy-to-understand content and an engaging presentation that also appeals to those outside the field.
