Dear MARMAMers!
With the occasion
of the 2nd World Marine Mammal Conference hosted by the
European Cetacean Society (ECS) and the Society for Marine
Mammalogy (SMM) that will take place in Barcelona (Spain) in
December 2019, it is our intention to continue the series of
workshops we have been organizing along with the ECS conferences
since 2013. Our proposal for the 7th workshop on “Communicating Marine Mammal Science
to the General Public” will be centered on “Arts as a tool for
communication”.
In our definition
"Arts" includes all forms of expression or application of human
creative skill and imagination, including the various branches
of creativity such as painting, music, literature and dance.
Considering the vast audience and researchers the conference itself will hosts, at this stage it is our aim to integrate people or groups interested in providing feedback on their own experience and contribution on the issue in the proposal/program of the workshop itself, before submitting it.
Whoever finds this topic of interest and would like to share their experience to provide useful tools for communication and fundraising to other research groups and form a network of information on the matter is strongly invited to get in touch.
Please mail to either:

Best regards,
Volker Smit
