APECS activities and some communication lessons from IPY Jennifer Provencher APECS ExCom and PhD student Carleton University Ottawa, Canada

The IPY Planning Group set out to have IPY EOC to have an impact on a global scale that would target key audiences with important messages and themes. Outreach during the International Polar Year Zicus et al. 2011

IPY

What can be learned about EOC from IPY? IPY microcosm of science outreach information Jenny Baeseman (APECS) and Dave Carlson (formerly of IPY IPO) supported by ICSU, the IPY IPO and AWI put together a team of IPY educators, communicators and researchers to form the IPY EOC Assessment Committee. rb.com, theblacksheepagency.com/blog

Was IPY EOC successful? Going back to the objectives of the IPY Planning Group global scale 2.target key audiences 3.important messages and themes

1. Global Scale IPY EOC projects reports indicate that more than 70 countries were involved

2. Wide Audiences IPY EOC projects reached more than 14 million people

3. Important messages and themes

So IPY EOC was successful by its own goals.....but why? ipy-osc.no, apecs.is, studentsonice.com You don’t have to look far for the signs of success, but what about the IPY EOC efforts made it so great?

Why IPY EOC was successful - 1 EOC was integrated into the larger science IPY programme from the beginning.

Why IPY EOC was successful - 2 The EOC efforts engaged and involved experts in both science and communication. Researchers Graduate students Educators Teachers Communication experts Media personnel Writers Artists Musicians.....were all involved in IPY EOC projects

Why IPY EOC was successful - 3 EOC was encouraged and coordinated from a central office throughout the IPY. We had a lot of help from the IPY IPO and we used all the materials available online. - Miriam Hebling Almeida, Colégio Puríssimo Coração de Maria, Brazil

Why IPY EOC was successful - 4 The EOC programme was branded and inclusive. Consistent branding Inclusive Teachers Discussion Group Classroom posters Opportunities Activities Blogs by teachers Image library Lesson plans sorted by level of preparation needed And more.....

Why IPY EOC was successful - 5 Advocacy maintained EOC momentum throughout the IPY period.

Why IPY EOC was successful - 6 Polar issues were timely and topical nsidc.org 2007, 2010 Collapse of the Larsen B Shelf Rapid decline in Arctic summer sea ice

The IPY Outreach Catalogue Search the catalogue by Key words

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 1 The public, students, teachers, media, artists and musicians want to be actively engaged in science.

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 2 Professionals in science and communication, at junior and senior levels, expressed frustration at the lack of professional recognition for outreach activities. One of the main obstacles that many scientists and communicators, early career and established, have voiced concern over is the lack of professional recognition, and in some cases support, for science EOC activities. We need to support and reward EOC efforts now to ensure future polar outreach

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 3 Small scale outreach projects benefit greatly by being linked to larger outreach initiatives. Polar Days - Seven 1 day events to 2008 Polar Weeks - Four Week long events to 2010 Grew to involve hundreds of people in 49 countries, with participants on all 7 continents. Many smaller programs and projects joined these larger events until the last one in 2010.

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 4 Formal outreach assessment is still lacking in most programmes and needs to be prioritized in order to gauge the effectiveness of such programmes and to adapt accordingly. We expect review and assessment of science, why not of science education to ensure goals are being met?

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 5 Science EOC has moved beyond the traditional poster or pamphlet, but more needs to be done to ensure that outreach efforts are reaching target audiences. But posters and presentations at conferences are still being listed by many as science outreach

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 6 Institutions and organizations with long-term programmes should house and maintain networks that link scientists and communicators, creating a legacy of the science programme and sustaining outreach efforts past short lived projects.

What we have learned about EOC through IPY - 7 Science outreach efforts should involve partners that already have EOC capacity and an audience such as teachers, media and science centers.

In Summary..... IPY EOC was successful And it was successful because of all those people who worked hard to make it happen! The public in general wants active science involvement Most scientists want to do EOC, but need support and resources Educators and communicators need to be involved to help develop relevant, effective material

APECS in the next year New Director Polar Week coming up in march with numerous activities IPY Montreal Meeting, many events APECS Website is getting a facelift

Many Thanks Thanks to all those who undertook outreach projects during IPY!
