For groups of 4-15 people. Length 2-4 hrs.

The central aspect of science and technology communication is communication. As a practice, it relies on the person's ability to relate to other people: interlocutors, target audience, people with different backgrounds and interests. All these elements can be fruitfully explored and experienced using so-called creative methods: gentle creative exercises from the practice of applied theatre and creative writing.

Together we will:

• Engage practically with the issues of scientific communication
• Learn to think about research in terms of storytelling, emotions and imagination
• Work on public speaking and presentation skills, learn to work in teams, manage stage fright and overcome writer's block

For groups of 4-15 people. Length 1.5-4 hrs.

Academia often prioritises individualistic intellectual performance, metrics, and comparison — and in doing so, our creativity quietly slips into the shadows. What if part of improving academic culture is bringing our creative “self” back into the light? This workshop explores exactly that.

Together, we will:

• Recognise creative impulses in ourselves and others
• Make space for playful self-expression despite institutional pressures
• Demystify what it means to be creative in academia
• Brainstorm in a group about projects, ideas, and even half-formed “what ifs” that you might want to introduce into your academic journey and research environment

For individuals and collectives of 2-7 people. Length 1.5-2.5 hrs.

This is a workshop for those who have an ambition to turn a piece of research into an artwork or an artistic intervention and feel they need some scaffolding for this work.

Together we will:

• Go deep into creative exercises to explore artistically the thematic, aesthetic, social, political scope of your idea
• Discuss stylistic and practical aspects of your artwork or intervention
• Map out the actionable plan to realise your project
