WeSTART Online Meetup – COMMUNITY GATHERING

NEW STRATEGIES FOR COLLABORATION

This time we will be hosting a session that will explore how collaborators have developed new techniques for collaborating or have used our Toolkit and found themselves doing things they hadn’t considered before.

During this WeSTART session, we would like to invite S+T+ARTS community members for an online meet-up and exchange of ideas. We will invite a number of you to present your work/a project/a partnership that used the STARTS Collaboration Toolkit, or developed your new methods and tools for collaboration with Tech/Science partners, or even exciting tools you used during the pandemic and in times of radically increased online / screenbased interaction, and insights you gained that you would like to share with te community.

Please get in touch with us to let us know if you would like to present on the day and we can make arrangements with you.

Email Lucy Bunnell (lbunnell@uca.ac.uk) by April 8th to register your interest. 

About WeSTART

Since its beginning, the S+T+ARTS programme has been exploring how the combination of arts, science and technology can help us to create a better, more sustainable future. The current crisis and the need for new sustainable solutions amplifies the importance of S+T+ARTS as never before. As a response to the COVID crisis we started the first WeSTART sessions in spring 2020. Now it is time for new season that promises to unveil more about the impact of S+T+ARTS and contribute to strengthen and support its growing community. Alongside the best S+T+ARTS projects and cutting-edge speakers, the upcoming programme also wants to provide a place for our community to network and discuss.  

Reflecting this, we introduce two formats of monthly online talks and conversations:  

– FOCUS ON: the “Focus On” sessions features some of the best speakers and S+T+ARTS projects, aimed at showing the impact of S+T+ARTS in diverse domains of society.   

– COMMUNITY GATHERING: during the monthly “Community Gathering” sessions we invite our registered community members to join us for an open and informal discussion. This is the place where we like to share thoughts, practice new forms of collective thinking and provide a platform for creating new inspiring connections.
