Hi Sarah,

 

I was one of the volunteers for Sex, Bugs and Rock’n’Roll – I’d be happy to put you in touch with one of the organisers at the BES, if they’ve not already spotted this message.

Hi Sarah,

 

We did a biodiversity recording project for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad where we did wildlife surveying activities under the banner of 'Meet the Species' at a number of music festivals (Green Man, Wilderness, WOMAD.) I wasn't involved from the very beginning but happy to attempt to answer any questions. I know that another group did something superficially similar called 'Sex, bugs and rock n roll' for the British Ecological Society centenary as well, but don't have a contact I'm afraid.

 

Best,

 

Matt

Dear psci-commers

 

I wondered if anyone on the list could share experiences of being involved in developing, presenting or pitching work related activities/events at ‘non-science’ festivals.

 

We have taken part in several bioethics-themed discussion events at science festivals - e.g. Cheltenham, Edinburgh - which have been very positive. But recently we have been thinking about how we might try some different activities (perhaps in partnership with arts or drama companies, for example) for other sorts of festivals, e.g. Latitude Festival has been suggested. 

 

If anyone has experience in this area or could offer any advice, please do get in touch.

 

Thanks,

Sarah
