Those of you who have not already followed MKs link to the site, or seen the BBC/Guardian articles, may be interested to hear that sciencehorizons was launched to the public yesterday by Minister for Science and Innovation, Malcolm Wicks, with students from the Royal College of Art. The students took part in the first of many discussions about the how science and technology could affect our lives in the next 15-20 years. As the press release said "Community groups, schools, families and friends up across the UK are invited to get together, between now and June, in village halls, classrooms, living rooms and pubs to have their own sciencehorizons discussions using the free packs. The sciencehorizons packs use stories, cartoons and a CD-ROM to prompt discussion. They cover four topics: mind and body, home and community, work and leisure and people and planet. Along with the pack, an interactive website stimulates discussion and debate. Visitors to www.sciencehorizons.org.uk can sign up to receive packs and run their own discussions, find out about larger sciencehorizons events across the UK or comment on the sciencehorizons blog." If you are based in the UK and are interested in running larger facilitated public events as part of sciencehorizons, please do get in touch via [log in to unmask] We can give you tips on running the events and details of the assistance with marketing, facilitation and funding we can provide.
