If you can't bring people together in person right now, perhaps it's time to hit pause and listen!
But it can be hard to know where to start.
That is why we've put together a Community Engagement Listening Tour, starting next week. While it is connected to the Science Events Summit, all are invited, and likely to find this of interest. Please consider joining in (in listen only mode, of course!):
May 26 – 29, 1:00 – 2:15 EST
Community Engagement Listening Tour
Listening should be the basis of our work, but it seems harder to do than ever right now. We have arranged an unprecedented (and therefore experimental) opportunity for you to listen to voices you may not be hearing right now. Listen to conversations with students, parents/guardians, and teachers about how communities are faring on the other side of the digital divide, and start considering how you might put together your own listening tour.
Produced in collaboration with the Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM (TIES).
Conversations led by Daniel Aguirre, Community Organizer, Science Festival Accelerator Advisor Board Chair, and STEM Consultant with TIES

Caveat was set to produce the public event in Atlanta before the Summit, and we're planning to join them for a live streaming show on Sunday evening, followed by a brief conversation with the team behind Caveat's magic.A great opportunity for anyone ready to up their game in the live streams!

Previously scheduled Summit conference
We'll use this time to get together online, consider the Listening Tour, make plans to keep each other thriving, and step back to take in the long view. Time will be split into three sessions with different formats.
Exact times and registration details to be announced.
