project

A project with three phases

Phase 1: Video contestUsing audiovisual like clay

Voting and jury

New roles for new audiences

• Creator role• Learning role• Receiver role• Role of the person who chooses• Consumer role

involvement?

Phase 3: Art and science exhibition

MotivationWe run this project:• Because we want to promote critical

thinking, creativity and problem solving and we believe in learning by doing.

• Because we want citizens to see that science is present in their city.

• Because we want to share the scientific methodology.

• Because we want to increase the number of beneficiaries of the science communication activities and therefore, we must explore new methods that are more in line with the new types of society: global, interdisciplinary, technology, etc.
