„Bacteriopolis – the Hidden Life of Microbes“ – A traveling exhibition on bacterial multicellularity –

SPP 2389的目标不亚于一种范式的转变，这将反映在未来的教科书中：细菌生命是多细胞的！然而，打破长期确立的观念不仅需要明确的科学证据，spp2389将创造，还需要科学和社会的说服。事实不仅要经常受到质疑，而且要以一种可以随着时间的推移而被接受并慢慢取代过时知识的方式进行准备和交流。在这方面，科学传播是spp2389的一个重要关注点。这里的目标不仅是说服科学界，而且是将新发现直接传达给公众。这一目标尤其具有挑战性，因为在过去几年中，我们观察到越来越多的人对科学及其成就持怀疑态度，甚至怀有敌意。为了弥合以研究为导向、创造性地塑造未来与科学怀疑主义与社会和政治幻灭相结合之间的鸿沟，在人们的生活中和周围需要新的参与性研究形式和平等的、低门槛的科学传播。spp2389旨在透过多媒体、多语言及互动的巡回展览，以通俗易懂的方式讲解SPP的主题，激发公众对科学的兴趣。因此，展览将在市场、火车站前、城市庆典等热闹的场所举行。它将在SPP合作伙伴的地点以及农村地区展出，并将使用挡板，抽屉，有趣和多媒体元素来唤醒每个人的发现精神并吸引他们的感官。SPP将使用模拟和数字通信工具的整体组合来推广巡回展览和伴随的计划，包括研讨会，小组讨论和其他活动形式。这包括目标群体感兴趣的新闻工作、网站和社交媒体渠道。为了实现从作为单细胞生物的细菌到多细胞生物的范式转变，将为讲师和学生举办特别讲习班，SPP的科学工作人员将在讲习班中接受培训，成为未来的科学传播者。通过这种方式，每个人都成为信息倍增器，从而增加了优先计划的可见性。通过SPP合作伙伴的传播部门和公共关系办公室的支持，巡回展览和伴随的节目将成为该地点活动日历上的灯塔，以及对细菌多细胞知识的倍增。因此，SPP将减少怀疑论，增加科学兴趣。

The SPP 2389 aims at nothing less than a paradigm shift that shall be reflected in future textbooks: Bacterial life is multicellular! However, breaking down long-established ideas requires not only clear scientific evidence, as the SPP 2389 will create, but also persuasion in science and society. Facts must not only be constantly questioned, but also prepared and communicated in a way that they can become accepted over time and slowly replace outdated knowledge. In this respect, science communication is an important concern of the SPP 2389. The goal here is not only to convince the scientific community, but to communicate the new findings directly to the general public. This aim is particularly challenging, since over the past few years, we observe an increasing number of people who are sceptical or even hostile towards science and its achievements. In order to bridge the gap between a research-guided, creative shaping of the future on the one hand, and science scepticism combined with social and political disillusionment on the other hand, new forms of participatory research and equal, low-threshold science communication are needed – in and around people’s lives. The SPP 2389 aims to achieve this by means of a multimedia, multilingual and interactive traveling exhibition that explains the topics of the SPP in an easily accessible way and sparks the public’s interest in science even in passing. For this very reason, the exhibition will be presented at busy locations such as markets, in front of train stations or as part of city festivals. It will be exhibited at the locations of the SPP partners as well as in rural areas and will use flaps, drawers, playful and multimedia elements to awaken everyone’s spirit of discovery and to appeal to their senses. The SPP will use a holistic combination of analogue and digital communication tools to promote the traveling exhibition and the accompanying program, which consists of workshops, panel discussions and other event formats. This includes press work, websites and social media channels of interest to the target group. In order to achieve a paradigm shift from bacteria as unicellular to multicellular organisms, special workshops for and with lecturers and students will take place, and the scientific staff of the SPP will be trained in workshops to become future science communicators. In this way, each individual becomes an information multiplier and thus increases the visibility of the Priority Program. Through the support of the communication departments and public relations offices of the SPP partners, the traveling exhibition and the accompanying program will become a beacon in the location’s calendar of events, as well as a multiplier of knowledge about bacterial multicellularity. The SPP will therefore achieve a reduction in scepticism and an increase in scientific interest.
