Don't forget to book your place at the Little Event, at Thinktank in Birmingham on Wednesday 8th January - just a few days left to snap up the last few places.
The Little Event is a training day for people who are relatively new to STEM communication, whether you work in a science centre or museum, volunteer for a festival, are involved in university outreach, or do anything else to engage people with sciences. It’s a lot like the BIG Event, but a bit smaller, all crammed into one busy day and created especially for those setting out in STEM communication. There will be several sessions, each focusing on developing a different skill, delivered by experienced science communicators following our usual hands-on approach.
But of course it isn’t just about the sessions, it’s the people you meet there too. The Little Event presents a great opportunity to meet others from across the UK who are working in similar roles and sharing similar experiences. You can also pick the brains of BIG members who are a year or two ahead of you, while focussing in on how you can steer your own career. The programme for the day will include sessions on Interacting with the public, Managing your engagement project, Informal Learning, Evaluation, Presenting and careers.
The price is £45 for BIG members - or non-members will need to join BIG first for £30 for 12 months.
