Science Gallery Youth Symposium-Boredom Rebellion

This event has ended

Online, Friday 29th January - Sunday 31st January

The BOREDOM REBELLION programme of workshops, performances, and talks invites you to break the monotonous routine and create together in a virtual space. Reimagine your bedroom with AI-driven tools or envision the world through afro-futurist lenses in a card building game; all from the comfort of your home.

BOREDOM REBELLION is Science Gallery's 2021 iteration of their annual Youth Symposium — a gathering of advisors, mediators, staff and core audiences of Science Gallery. Youth Symposium participants trust Science Gallery to take action on pressing issues that include climate crisis, mental health, ethics and technology. And they trust Science Gallery to be a truly global network. The gallery space is too small for them: the Youth Symposium participants want Science Gallery to achieve an impact that is much larger than the walls of the gallery. They dare to look far beyond where we can see.

This year, explore scientific language in a theatrical way, convert your social media data into visual designs, get closer to nature by making biodegradable seedling pots, challenge your trust in science in a live podcast, design a theme park exploring radical models of accessibility, push your creativity through randomness, experience the cultural value of food and document your memories for future generations, and perform in an immersive theatre play to reflect on data privacy. And more to come!

The Youth Symposium will use the conference platform Whova.

*This event is intended for individuals 18+.

Make Way Day

Nationwide

“Make Way Day” is a campaign that brings the disability and wider community together to consider the needs of people with disabilities in the public spaces we all share. It is led by the Disability Federation of Ireland and is a unique collaboration across Ireland and the voluntary and local government sectors. But most of all it’s about people with disabilities. But everyone can get involved. And everyone should get involved because we’ve discovered thoughtlessness is the big issue. We’ve compiled a terrible top three of obstacles that stop people with disabilities in their tr
