| The course "Science Communication and Excursion Management in the Botanical Gardens" aims to convey the methods of knowledge transfer between the scientific community and the general public using the example of guided tours in the Botanical Garden of the University of Basel. The course consists of a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the history and concept of the garden will be explained (one session) and the individual parts of the garden will be presented with excursions into the garden (two sessions). In addition, the basic didactic principles of knowledge transfer in natural history collections, especially gardens, will be explained (two sessions). In the second, practical part of the course, students will be supervised by lecturers to develop a 15-minute guided tour on any topic that can be conveyed through the garden's collection (three sessions including tutorials and feedback). The prepared tours are then presented in the Botanical Garden during the last two sessions of the semester as part of the course (5 guided tours per session including feedback time). The presentation and attendance during the course are decisive for the grade (pass / fail). IMPORTANT: University of Basel students should register via Unibas Services (MOnA). | |
