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.

can produce for you or your city, please contact
