In this article, we share a creative and pedagogical process that brings the so-called "science on stage" to life, emerging at the intersection of theater and science. Through a theater methodology, we use elements of the clown genre to develop a formative process rich in bodily and emotional expression, integrating narratives around science and culminating in a stage proposal. The result is an educational experience where emotion and reflection emerge as the undisputed protagonists, promoting deeper learning and a more meaningful connection with the audience, and in turn, a connection between the audience and scientific themes.

In Argentine institutes and scientific research centers, efforts are rarely dedicated to public science communication (PSC), which weakens the connection with the society to which they belong. For this reason, in 2015, the Institute of Limnology “Dr. Raúl A. Ringuelet” (La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina) created its Extension and Communication Area, which has coordinated numerous activities at science fairs, schools, and neighborhoods. Through the implementation of a relational approach, adaptable to similar institutions, solid connections have been established with various sectors, and the internal revaluation and enhancement of PSC.

The study describes and analyzes the production of a health communication podcast based on the ‘Health Handbook of Persons Affected by Leprosy’, produced by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, in 2020. In a study that analyzed the perception of users treated at a specialized public outpatient clinic, it was observed that some of them were unable to read and interpret printed text. The perceived difficulties motivated the adaptation of the content and, thus, the Podhans podcast was created. With accessible and relaxed language, the 16 episodes explore useful topics about the daily lives of people with leprosy and the disease, created from listening to users and considering principles of public communication. Available online, it can be used in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) services and by social movements, expanding access to health information and communication about leprosy.

This article presents the experience of collaborative and interdisciplinary work between scientists and communicators, in the framework of the Marine-Coastal Stressors Research Network in Latin America and the Caribbean (REMARCO), created in 2018. It reflects on the actions achieved since its creation, and the dynamics established between the scientific and communication groups. It is concluded that the collaborative work has allowed scientists to learn how to disseminate the results of their research, while communicators acquire technical knowledge on the problem of marine-coastal stressors, achieving synergies for the benefit of scientific dissemination; with improvement areas that should be solved soon.

The world population ages coincidentally with a critical environmental situation due to climate change which threatens vulnerable populations, including many older adults. An exercise to communicate the risks of climate change is presented, based on detecting from a survey the knowledge and attitudes of this population on the subject. This survey was the basis from a workshop to promote self-care in the face of environmental risks faced by the elderly. The workshop was useful to reduce ignorance about the subject and to promote self-care and social responsibility. These aspects will be incorporated in museographic script adaptable to different contexts and needs

This work analyzes the communication processes of the contents of scientific dissemination of the project ‘Articles and authors in the media and social media: for innovative and accessible scientific dissemination of Reciis’. The study is based on the assumption that scientific dissemination is a way
of knowledge produced in the mediations of scientific culture. Break up of praxis as a theoretical-methodological contribution in order to highlight the effects discursive aspects of the materials. We propose that such practices mediated with the presence (bodies and voices) of Reciis authors in the media present innovative ways of communicating science.

Los grupos de ciencia recreativa en México han construido, en las últimas décadas, un importante movimiento de impulso a la comunicación pública de la ciencia. Sus actividades involucran a los participantes, de forma física, intelectual y emocional, en la construcción de experiencias científicas significativas. La colaboración entre grupos mostró la necesidad de un marco conceptual común para esta comunidad emergente. Para construirlo se articularon elementos teóricos con la experiencia de los grupos de Recreación en Cadena, la Red Mexicana de Ciencia Recreativa. El presente artículo expone los conceptos fundamentales de esta especialidad, a la par de la forma en que se construyeron.

En el proceso de creación de Materia, el Museo del Centro de Ciencias de Sinaloa, se propuso el desarrollo de un estudio de publico que permitiera incluir las voces de diferentes comunidades y audiencias en el proceso de diseño museológico. Con más de 1900 participantes en 85 sesiones de diálogo fue posible marcar líneas de pensamiento, aproximaciones y referentes de diversos públicos que nos permitieron armar el proyecto museológico que hoy propone Materia. La investigación subraya aproximaciones propias del contexto inmediato así como percepciones y comprensiones de la ciencia y la tecnología en diversos públicos.

Se describirá parte del proyecto de exposiciones itinerantes “Ciencia en Movimiento”, el contexto en el que se desarrolla, una breve historia y descripción del mismo, su forma de operación así como dos dimensiones de impacto no previstas en el diseño del modelo, centrándonos en el efecto causado sobre los Guías facilitadores, que al adoptar un modelo de operación de mayor estabilidad temporal, generalmente un año al menos dentro del proyecto, ha permitido fortalecer vocaciones y trayectorias profesionales insospechadas inicialmente.

Este trabalho apresenta o processo de criação do podcast de divulgação científica “Conexão Científica”, projeto de extensão desenvolvido como uma prática educomunicativa no Colégio Pedro II (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil). Relata a dinâmica das atividades remotas conduzidas com os participantes — estudantes, docentes e técnicos da instituição — e sintetiza os resultados iniciais obtidos a partir dos relatos das experiências dos integrantes do grupo. Reflete sobre as potencialidades do desenvolvimento de projetos de divulgação científica sob a perspectiva da Educomunicação e apresenta os desafios vivenciados pelo grupo, no contexto da suspensão das atividades presenciais na escola e do isolamento social provocado pela pandemia de Covid-19.
