Fwd: FW: Announcing PEIs Master Class #2

Dear all, 

Please see below information about the next Polar Educator International masterclass taking place on 29th October. Sounds like it may be of interest to a lot of UKPN members.

Cheers,
Jon

-----------------------------------

Polar Educators International (PEI), a vibrant network promoting polar education and research to a global community, (http://www.polareducator.org) is pleased to announce the second in the new Master Class series targeting a dual audience:

 

·         Educators seeking cutting-edge professional development on the latest science discoveries

·         Researchers interested in learning proven strategies for communicating scientific concepts in a clear and meaningful way to non-technical audiences

 

We have attached a flyer advertising the class, Natural and Anthropogenic (that pesky word!) Climate Impacts: Evidence from Ice Cores.

 

Featuring leading researcher, Dr. Joe McConnell and polar educator, Ms. Linda Morris,  the class is being offered free to all participants. Membership in PEI is required for participation in Master Class activities. Registrations are due by 25 October 2014, with the initial web seminar taking place Wednesday, 29 October 2014 at 2000 GMT. A two-week online discussion forum 30 October- 14 November 2014 will follow the web seminar.

 

Further information on how to participate is available at: http://www.polareducator.org/activities/master-class

 

Many thanks for helping us get the word out about this exciting opportunity!

 

PEI Executive Committee
