Open to doctoral students who would like to learn how to engage older people with research. You’ll be given the challenge of devising and delivering a short (5 – 10 minute) presentation about your research, about why it matters and its (potential) impact, to a group of older people. Instead, you’ll need to choose an object either associated with, or that encapsulates, your research and present this as a ‘hook’ for your talk.
You’ll present your object and research to the Age UK B&NES Culture Club (comprised of ages 55 years and over) at St John’s Hospital Meeting Room.
Once the Postgraduate Researchers have been recruited you will be expected to attend a practice session to take it in turns to share with each other the object chosen and to have a go at presenting to each other so you can iron out any problems.
The closing date for applications is 21 February 2020.
