How scientists can make public engagement part of their professional development.

A detailed description of the activity’s implementation:

Begin the activity by asking participants to use Padlet and write research topics or scientific concepts they are currently working on or are familiar with in the Environmental Sciences field and Climate Change. 

Present the Padlet in the plenary, briefly review all topics, and start discussions about who the primary audience for each presented topic might be in the case of public engagement. 

The group discussion fosters diverse perspectives and considerations, enriching participants' understanding of various audience needs and preferences. This collective knowledge gained becomes a valuable resource, enabling individuals to tailor their plans effectively. 

Then, participants decide on one of the topics (or choose a new one) and work individually on developing a personal plan for making public engagement part of their professional development.
