About the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI)
NNOCCI is a collaborative effort led by the New England Aquarium with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the FrameWorks Institute, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the New Knowledge Organization in partnership with Pennsylvania State University and the Ohio's Center for Science and Industry.  With support from the NSF Climate Change Education Partnership program, NNOCCI's goal is to establish a national network of professionals who are skilled in communicating climate science to the American public.
This one-day workshop will

*         Introduce participants to elements of strategic framing - a research-based approach to communications that helps to engage audiences in thinking productively about how they can participate in creating or supporting solutions to important issues of our time.

*         Explain how strategic framing elements, when put together, tell a story about climate change that can help communicators to engage audiences in positive ways, overcome traditional barriers and cue people to think productively about solutions.

*         Share several simple activities and demonstrations to review core elements of climate and ocean science.

*         Provide opportunities to practice applying framing to your own exhibits or institutions, and learn about further professional development opportunities.

*         Include a continental breakfast and lunch.
