Ideas on how to organize a Darwin Day Event
Those
of you who find the idea of organizing an event time consuming or
even intimidating might want to consider a small, café style,
event or approach a biologist to provide the content for the event -
many biology professors would be glad to lead a discussion around
this topic, and don’t forget high school biology teachers as
sources of knowledge. An evolutionary biologist at a university or
research center could be asked to talk about their work or, if they
have authored books for broad audiences, to do a book event. If the
speaker wants, they can talk about Darwin and his contributions, or
you, as the organizer, can do so during an introduction (there are
many excellent sources on Darwin, and you can draw from the Defend
Science Darwin Day statement.) Find a venue appropriate to what you
and the participants are going to do – a café, bookstore, or
public lecture hall can usually be reserved for this sort of public
interest event. Write a brief announcement for your event and post
it broadly both in email/electronic media and print media and on
bulletin boards. Don’t forget to ask community organizations and
churches to add it to their calendars. Send the announcement to
Defend Science and we will post it on our website.
