The workshops aim to raise participants’ awareness of the different tools used by science communicators. Beyond learning how to use these tools, the training will allow them to reflect on the context of their use and their limits, how to assess the tools and the audience they can be used with.
In each workshop, student groups will produce practical ! applications, and their work will be integrated into a collective medi um (logbook, blog…) produced specifically in the framework of the training event. Each workshop will be run by 3 or 4 experts specialised in the use of the tool considered: scientific film director, stage director, science illustrator, journalist…
