Climate Dome: Changing Attitudes to Climate Change
Job Description: Environmental communicator and promoter
Part time, starting Jan '07- Mar '08: varied contract terms available
'Climate Dome' is a major public education project on climate change,
which launches in late-January '07 in Newcastle upon Tyne.
We are looking for part-time staff who are enthusiastic, have experience
in communicating to the public, and are interested in environmental
issues.
You will be responsible for engaging the public in shopping centres,
city centres, festivals and fairs, and encouraging them to interact with
the exhibits and displays in the Dome. You may also manage volunteers,
performers and other exhibitors
The post will be based in Newcastle, but will involve considerable
travel through the North East, weekend working and occasional irregular
hours.
The Climate Dome is an inflatable temporary structure which will act as
a 'theatre platform' to engage people, on their own ground, who are
either not yet aware, or not convinced, of climate change as a 'here and
now' threat.
The dome explains climate change through fun and enjoyable interactive
exhibits, exhibition displays and animations. It is accompanied by a
film, developed with the BBC, website and online game.
It will exhibit across the North East for 15 months, in places with high
footfall, both urban and rural audiences, including, shopping centres
city centres, sports, music events, schools, colleges and fairs.
The Climate Dome has been developed as a flagship project of DEFRA's
Tomorrow's Climate, Today's Challenge programme, and is generously
supported by Scottish Power. Exhibits and displays have been developed
with the expertise of the Centre for Life. Invaluable support is also
being provided by Newcastle City Council, the Environment Agency and the
Energy Saving Trust.
This is an excellent, challenging and exciting opportunity to work at
the cutting edge in an extremely topical and important issue.
Appropriate applicants will be required to undertake a CRB check.
