Workshop Pushing Boundaries: Creative and Experimental Approaches to Public Engagement Parallel session

Speaker

Sven Kamin (Eur.XFEL (European XFEL))

Description

This workshop aims at the creation of a collaborative card game for PAERI research institutions, inspired by traditional quartet games. Participants will engage in designing a card deck that features essential key performance indicators (KPIs) from various PAERI institutions, aimed at enhancing public relations and outreach, especially to younger audiences.
Over one hour, the workshop will analyze existing card decks to extract compelling design elements and discuss collaboration strategies among institutions. Key topics will include identifying universal KPIs, potential design aesthetics, and compensating competitive disadvantages for smaller institutions, as well as the possibility of forming a working group.
Ultimately, this initiative aims to create a unique card game that serves as an innovative promotional tool, encouraging knowledge retention through gameplay while unlocking new public engagement opportunities within the PAERI community.
