SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Sci-prov: The Workshops - Listening & Empathy
DESCRIPTION:FREE WORKSHOP! Better science communication through improv. This workshop will focus on listening and empathy and is designed for graduate students\, post-docs\, staff\, and faculty in STEM-related fields. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Topic: Listening + Empathy \nThis workshop focuses on absorbing information from colleagues and listening for understanding. Activities focus on listening to partners beyond words and distilling messages to core values and beliefs for building bridges with collaborators and the public. \nThis workshop will take place in room 1145 in the Discovery Building. \nSpace is limited – RSVP required! \n\n\n\nThese 2-hour workshops are designed for graduate students\, post-docs\, staff\, and faculty in STEM related fields who want to sharpen their ability to communicate effectively and adaptively. In research and industry alike\, ideas often need to be shared in real time with diverse audiences- from colleagues and collaborators to decision-makers and the public. These sessions provide a lively\, low-stakes space to build confidence in handling the unexpected and the ability to pivot one’s communication. Through fun applied improv practice\, participants will experiment with spontaneous speaking\, respond to mistakes\, and network. Each workshop will focus one a different area of communication – attend one or all of the workshop sessions!
