| Title | Communities and narratives in neglected spaces: voices from SMASHfestUK |
| Authors | Griffiths, W. and Keith, L. |
| Abstract | Many people are under-served by existing informal science learning (ISL) provisions and under-represented in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics/Medicine) study choices and careers. This paper reflects upon SMASHfestUK which was established, as both a STEAM festival and research platform, to explore methods and approaches for lowering the barriers to engagement with ISL in marginalised communities. To do this SMASHfestUK located its events in the heart of communities and worked with those communities to create those events. This paper tells their story through the voices of participating communities. |
