COMMUNICATING GEOSCIENCES

More and more geoscientists are working in one or the other way communicating geosciences - as journalists, managers of national geoparks, by leading excursions for scholars and adults. Mainly they work and organize themselves individually, very often without or with few knowledge how to do their work appropriately.

After a first meeting at the GeoDarmstadt2010, with very good response, for GeoMunich2011 a follow-up workshop was organized to collect experiences in communicating geosciences. Since the workshop will be held just shortly before this session results are open and will be presented thereafter.
