‘Telling Stories’ Wellcome Trust International Public Engagement Workshop

The second Wellcome Trust International Public Engagement Workshop was produced by Theatrescience Co-director Rebecca Gould, assisted by Jess Mordsley. The theme of the workshop was ‘Telling Stories: Why narrative matters in public engagement with science’, and the key questions for the conference where: when and how can we use storytelling properly in public engagement – and what are the potential dangers of misusing it?
