The next working lunch will take place in Cardiff on Tuesday 27 July.
Working Lunch - Toolkit for dialogue
What is the difference between information dissemination, consultation and dialogue? What methods and techniques should we use to discuss issues involving science and technology with the public? Should discussions feed somewhere or is it good enough just to talk? What types of questions should we ask before embarking on dialogue activities?
This working lunch will explore what we mean by achieving 'effective dialogue'. It will showcase recent approaches to informing policy through dialogue by exploring methods such as citizens' juries, focus groups and deliberative polls and by examining the potential impact on the science communication community.
The workshop will include contributions from Andrew Acland, Dialogue by Design, Dr Anita Shaw, Development Director, Techniquest and Natasha Lade, Planning Aid Wales.
This event takes place 12.00 - 14:30 on Tuesday 27 June at The Youth Eisteddfod Centre (The Urdd), Bute Place, Cardiff.
Tickets cost £15 which includes lunch. For further information or to book a place visit www.the-ba.net/scienceinsociety or contact [log in to unmask]
The working lunch is organised by the BA in partnership with Techniquest and is supported by Sciencewise.
