Since 2016, the intergalactic colloquium Telling Science Drawing Science / Science en récit, science en image has pursued the objective of promoting and sharing research and/or mediation experiences in the fields of science education, mediation and communication, storytelling and images.
The symposium is open to all researchers and practitioners (illustrators, mediators, authors, teachers, trainers, etc.) concerned with the transmission of knowledge in scientific disciplines: mathematics, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. It is also a place of inspiration for those involved in the transmission of knowledge, in search of new and original ideas.
Topics under study
Between preserving the integrity of the knowledge that needs to be made known and understood, respecting the rules and constraints intrinsic to the chosen media or artistic form (narrative or graphic codes) and taking into account the interests of the target audience, the processes of creating and using stories and images that talk about science 'differently' are the result of skilful tricks, compromises and sometimes renunciations; so many choices left in the shadows of creation that nevertheless deserve to be known, shared and discussed. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, this kind of clarification broadens the range of possibilities for action by highlighting what exists, what works and what doesn't work so well (what impact on learning? understanding of the knowledge involved? motivation? etc.). This also makes it possible to understand the reasons for the choices made (what graphic choices? narrative choices? for what purposes? with what constraints?), to get the scientific narrative out of the mistrust to which it is sometimes subjected and to give the user the keys to reading, watching and hearing the science presented in the most accurate and appropriate way.
Research (in education, mediation, language sciences, etc.), practice and experience (artistic, scriptwriting, pedagogical, media, etc.) are all fields likely to shed light on these issues.
