Toolbox
This section of the Observatory collects innovative, practical tools for outstanding science communication and journalism. Here you can find the prototypes and pilot tools we are developing within the ENJOI project during the engagement workshops and labs organized in Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
Each tool is addressed to a specific target audience: science journalists and communicators, researchers, policymakers, teachers and students, civil society organizations. We will also share the process behind the tools’ prototyping in case you wish to develop similar experiences in your community.
And then, we will look around to collect innovative free tools that might help improve the quality of science communication and journalism.
Any suggestions for tools to enrich our ENJOI Observatory’s toolbox? Get in touch!
