Being resourceful Dissemination of ClairCity’s research findings and engagement activities began in earnest at the start of 2020. With six months remaining to the project, the Communications Team were keen to spend this time developing resources that could be shared for years to come, keeping alive the message of ClairCity and supporting all of the partners and citizens working towards the same goals. As a result, a series of digital resources have been produced. So far we have finalised a methodology trifold leaflet, which outlines the ClairCity process and how it can be of benefit to other cities and regions, a visual evaluation report and two resource packs for our target audiences. ClairCity Methodology trifold What to expect The visual evaluation report highlights the acheivements of ClairCity through some eye-catching graphics and statistics. There are success stories from our partners contained within and some top tips for future science communicators that will help them when employing the engagement tools used during ClairCity. The first pack we finalised was for Community Activators - local people that want to, or are already, making a change to their cities and regions for cleaner air. There is a handy decision tree to navigate the pack, allowing novices and experts alike to get the most from the resources within. You can expect advice on reaching at-risk communities, tips on setting up a local campaign group, and a guide on what engagement techniques are useful, and when, for more effective communication. Community Activator pack The second pack is specifically for educators - teachers, homeschoolers, parents during COVID19... anyone working with children and young people. In total, there are seven lesson plans and three ‘wet play’ activities for kids to get involved with. You will also find inspiration from some school success stories in Aveiro and Bristol, and some printable graphics for children to discuss with classmates, or to pin on their fridge. Educator pack with schools lessons So far, Aveiro has translated the Community Activator pack into Portuguese and the Educator pack has been shared hundreds of times. The Educator Pack is online on the Bristol Learning City website, and it along with all the resources produced so far are on the ClairCity website.
