The Linnean Society is very pleased to announce that the BioMedia Meltdown competition is back for its third year! This exciting competition gives young people (aged 11-14) in Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham and Ealing the opportunity to show off their scientific knowledge, by thinking creatively and they could even win some amazing prices!
To help inspire young people to create some winning entries we have free interactive workshops and resources available. Previously students have enjoyed creating stop motion animation to develop an understanding of predator-prey relationships in food webs and have explored the idea of maladaptation by sculpting a sabre-tooth tiger skull! They last around one hour (this can be flexible) and are delivered by a trained DBS checked facilitator for free at your meeting place. The workshops are a fun, creative way to explore scientific ideas and are available at your Youth Club or organization between September 2017 and January 2018 to young people in Year 7, 8 and 9.
To find out more about the competition and the free resources available do not hesitate to get in touch with me or visit the website.
For the last Westminster Community Network meeting before the summer break, we’re going to discuss that most topical of subjects: ‘What is the future of civil society? ’ Taking our cue from the Civil Society Futures independent inquiry which was recently launched at the NCVO’s annual conference and is being chaired by Julia Unwin, we will debate and discuss how the third sector can address and find solutions to the challenges facing our society and how our civil society can flourish in a fast changing world.
A key part of this inquiry is a call for evidence and Civil Society Futures has asked for contributions as to what organisations think the future holds and we will be sending them the findings from our meeting.
It promises to be a lively and informative afternoon and will be held on Thursday, 20 July from 2.30pm to 5pm at:
Stowe Centre, 258 Harrow Road, London W2 5ES
There’ll be plenty of networking too!
Register here to reserve your place. If you have any queries please email Nina Hathway, WCN facilitator.
