BIOECOLOGICAL STUDIES IN PENGUINS AND SKUAS PROJECT: DIVULGATION AND OUTREACH PROPOSAL
Education and Outreach
IPY 2012 Conference, Montreal, Canada, April 2012
2012
Nowadays the successful execution of scientific projects depends on the strong integration of the projects with scientific divulgation on the base of education, outreach and communication aspects. The project “Bio-ecological studies in penguins and skuas” proposes to contemplate a number of education, outreach and communication activities which are
directed to the divulgation of the project’s research results and foresees, among other activities: 1) The creation and periodic updating of an interactive web-site (http://pinguinseskuas.webnode.com.br/) with disclosure material for educators, students and the general public; 2) The creation of a documentary video of the research activities in Antarctica and the laboratory analyses developed by all institutions involved in the project; 3) The designing and divulgation of educational material made available at no charge for schools all over the country, including interdisciplinary activities; 4) The organization of a workshop, lectures, disclosure texts, interviews, reports, and other activities that will bring the project members in direct contact with the public; 5) Visits to schools in order to engage educators and students in polar issues; 6) Help to promote contact between Brazilian youth and scientists and youth from other countries for sharing of experiences and knowledge on
the effects of global warming on the poles of the planet and on the importance of those regions for the Earth system (joining with APECS efforts). Through these activities this project aims to accomplish a wide disclosure of its scientific activities and to stimulate the
participation of students in all levels of education, educators and the whole community, in a way that will effectively contribute with relevant educational aspects, bringing up important matters for the Brazilian society and promoting a wide debate about them.

The logistical support is from Brazilian Antarctic Program (PROANTAR). MHA received a grant from CNPq (371543/2011-8), ESC a CNPq doctoral fellowship (process 141474/2008-4), LSTC a CAPES doctoral fellowship,
JPMT received research support from CNPq (306003/2008-2).
