Programme and Book of abstract will be uploaded approximately one month before the event.
Before the official start of the symposium, two workshops will be organized:
BIOCREATIVE WORKSHOP: FROM KNOWLEDGE TO STORY
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Knowledge has been passed down through storytelling for millennia. Even today, we love stories. So could we combine biology with creativity? At the Biocreative Workshop, participants will learn how to write a story for children with biological content. They will learn how to present their scientific discoveries to the general public in a simple, understandable and entertaining way. As part of the workshop, participants will try to create their own stories about nature and get feedback.
For the workshop, you need paper, pencil, crayons, some biological knowledge and imagination.
WHO: professional public, symposium participants, students, conservationists…
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: MAX 15
WHEN: 31/01/2025
WHERE: Famnit 3 lecture hall, UP FAMNIT, Livade 4
PRODUCT: story – comic book – picture – or something completely different
PREPARATION AND IMPORTANCE OF ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS
The participants of the workshop will learn what an entomological collection is, why it is important and how to prepare specimens that thus remain as evidence and often also have historical value, because they show us what may have already died out and collections are like a national treasure.
WHEN: 31 January 2025
WHERE: Zoological laboratorium on the 2nd floor of the UP FAMNIT building, Livade 4
