Title

Space Culture: New Processes of Public Engagement in Space through Culture and Art

type

oral

Description

This session will focus on the education and outreach activities of institutions such as museums, space agencies, non-profit organisations and individual contributions, which link space with culture, humanities and critical thinking. This session will specifically look at papers elaborating on new and original processes used in public engagement through culture and art. Presenters will be required to explain how their projects informed critical reflection and what mechanics in public engagement through culture and art were used to allow it. When submitting abstracts for SEOC sessions, please: • Clearly identify the connection to the session’s described scope and to space. • Briefly describe what you will present, including results and evaluation of your work, if it has been completed, or a thorough description of the expected outcomes of the work. • Include information about what makes your work unique, original or innovative and worth sharing with the international space community. • State your work’s goal, the intended audience, the measurable objectives that were set, and if the work is in planning or has already occurred. • Provide context describing the research and/or analysis you conducted in choosing the purpose of the activity, the intended audience, and the design of the activity. • Include reference to quantitative or qualitative data gathered through evaluations, surveys or other means. • If any theories are developed, please include information about the practical applicability of the information. • Consider that your audience is international and focus on what others working in the field can learn from your work. Include lessons learned, recommendations or other takeaway messages. • Make sure that the abstract provides a coherent idea or narrative for someone unfamiliar with your work.
