“…An experience that can be provided through theatre. There are already studies in the field of Primary Education where theatre is used to work on scientific content or relevant socio-environmental issues that highlight the importance of the emotional component involved in bringing reality closer through theatre (Lanza, Crescimbene, La Longa and D'Addezio, 2014;Spooner, Jensen, Tracey and Marshall, 2019;Stagg and Verde, 2019).…”

The objective of this article is to make an approach to how primary education teachers understand that theatre favours the treatment of socio-environmental problems in the classroom in a motivating and practical way. Semi-structured interviews have been carried out with teachers who have already used theatre in their classrooms. The results have been structured on the basis of three categories: motivation and values, context and subjects, and difficulties. The potential of theatre in primary school is highlighted, with time and the number of students in the groups being the main difficulties in incorporating them into the classroom.

“…Similarly, depending on the demographic of participants, for example schoolchildren, more appropriate methods such as storytelling (e.g. Davis, 2007;Lanza et al, 2014) or drawings (e.g. Özsoy, 2012) may be used.…”

Abstract. If you are a geoscientist doing work to achieve impact outside academia or engaging different audiences with the geosciences, are you planning to make this publishable? If so, then plan. Such investigations into how people (academics, practitioners, other publics) behave can use pragmatic, simple research methodologies accessible to the non-specialist, or be more complex. To employ a medical analogy, first aid is useful and the best option in some scenarios but calling a medic (i.e. a collaborator with experience of geoscience communication or relevant research methods) provides the contextual knowledge to identify a condition and opens up a diverse, more powerful range of treatment options. Here, we expand upon the brief advice in the first editorial of Geoscience Communication (Illingworth et al., 2018), illustrating what constitutes robust and publishable work in this context, elucidating its key elements. Our aim is to help geoscience communicators plan a route to publication, and to illustrate how good engagement work that is already being done might be developed into publishable research.

“…These studied provided information over the years on the liking and effectiveness of training proposal in various contexts (D'Addezio, 2019;D'Addezio et al, 2014;Lanza et al, 2013;Musacchio et al, 2015a;Musacchio et al, 2015b). Moreover, we can built a more general analysis of how the scientific message is received, how efficient scientists are in transferring concepts, ideas, information in a correct but also captivating way.…”

Abstract. 10 years with Planet Earth is the title of the 2016 INGV calendar for primary schools resulting from the review of a project conceived to support and complement 15 years of INGV dissemination activities with schools. We made 10 calendars together with and for primary schools, every year with a different subject related to a world in constant evolution. We have launched competitions asking children to send drawings on the themes chosen, to stimulate learning about Earth Sciences and Planet Earth dynamics. We intended to raise awareness on water resources availability, prevention of natural disasters and planet sustainability. For each competition, we chose the most significant drawings to be included in the yearly calendar about the Earth. The authors of drawings were awarded by scientists, journalists, artists and science communicators and even by a minister. Beyond the competitions, the drawings reflect impressions and thoughts, providing an opportunity to illustrate the children's point of view. From drawings arise a great sensitivity, consideration, responsiveness and respect for the Planet and positive feeling for Science. The project was made possible thanks to the teachers and to the wonderful students of more than 200 schools. We received about 10 000 drawings that have intrigued, touched, enchanted, and surprised us. We are grateful for all they have chosen to share with us.
