- Emily Armitage (Unlicensed) look into how we get a vendor application for the Edinburgh festival in 2020
- Emily: It appears that the 2020 festival has a Call for Ideas Guide, Vision Document outlining the festival's theme, and a link to submit a proposal to present at the festival. The proposal submission deadline is less than a month away, due Friday September 13th at 5pm.
- Sara Griffith Look into the Abu Dhabi festival to see if it's a good match for the bestiary and how we apply to present
...
We likely won't be able to attend on Bestiary money, however, we are interested in taking the bestiary to festivals and presenting. We need to look into if these festivals have some kind of assessment–do they keep track of how attendance at their festivals affects people post-activities. By figuring this out, we might be able to narrow down the list of festivals we would like to present at.
- Emily Armitage (Unlicensed) will look into the different festivals and ask if they have some kind of pre/post assessment
- Report:
- Response from Rebecca Smyth from the Beakerhead festival: "... Beakerhead is largely funded by a large Canadian science communications/promotions grant, from a governmental organization called NSERC. NSERC has specific policies about impact measurements for grant reporting, so that is the system we use to evaluate the impact of our Education programs at the main Beakerhead festival in September, and throughout the year. I don't believe we currently have a system for evaluating the impact on the general public. Beakerhead is coming up in just over a month, so it's too close to get you involved for 2019, but if you're interested in learning more for 2020, we can circle back in October-November."
