BIG Skills Days 2009

The Little Event
September 2009

Aimed at those new to the field of science communication, this mini conference aims to pass on the background to how we work and give a taste of what BIG can offer to newbies in the field. Sessions will cover:

• careers in science communication
• basic learning theory and GLO’s
• key skills in presentation and facilitation.

Perhaps most importantly the day will offer young science communicators, from across the UK, the opportunity to meet others doing similar work.
We hope that long-standing BIG members will be keen to support this new initiative, if you have staff you think would benefit, or would be interested in running a session please contact Toni Hamill Toni.Hamill@life.org.uk
Location – North East England. Cost TBC
