[SEMCO] Visualize Change- Apr 28, Buttonwood Park Zoo

[Annette Brickley]

New England Aquarium and Buttonwood Park Zoo are partnering to offer a
unique one-day climate communication training using  specially designed
visual narratives.

*Visualize Change*
And learn ways you and your team can engage audiences with topics of
climate and ocean change

   - using narratives with global data visuals
   - using the best practices based on targeted social and cognitive
   research

*When, Where and Who*

   - *April 28, 9:00-4:00 - *Buttonwood Park Zoo, New Bedford, MA

*What*

You can expect to gain:

   - Four *visual narratives*, suitable to be used on a spherical screen
   (such as Science on a Sphere®, Magic Planet®, or HyperGlobe®), flat screen,
   or handheld tablet.
   - Theory, based on social and cognitive sciences, used to develop
the *visual
   narratives*.
   - Opportunities to practice and models for training other colleagues to
   use these materials.
   - A toolkit to take back to your institution - including the four *visual
   narratives*, background information about the theoretical basis for each
   narrative, relevant climate and ocean science information and videos that
   illustrate each visual narrative being used by an educator.

*About Visualizing Change: Training and Tools to support Informal Educators*

Visualizing Change is a 3-year grant funded by NOAA’s Office of Education
to help build capacity in the informal science education field to more
effectively use global data sets to communicate about climate change, its
impact on coastal zones and marine life and how people are working to use
scientific information to shape our world.

*How*
