AirFest and impact
So how did this programme have impact? I think the activities that we ran provided new knowledge and awareness to those who attended, in terms of facts about pollution, and ways to reduce one’s own emissions and exposure. Children seemed fascinated by the lichens and the quiz, and I had many conversations with adults who seemed very turkey rcs data surprised by some of the pollution facts. I was able to discuss my use of well-being and pollution data with several groups of people and we had some great exchanges about what data is available, what well-being means, how you measure it and how you connect it to data about the physical environment.
AirFest
I myself developed new understanding about people’s concerns and behaviours regarding air pollution, and the possible pathways in which this may affect their self-reported well-being. For example, how several individuals said they would walk or cycle instead of driving, if only the traffic wasn’t so bad…! And more broadly being part of this programme taught me some very useful practical things about how we as researchers can work best with different publics at events like this. My thoughts:
Terms of content, activity type, safety, facilities, everything!
It is better to do one thing well than try to do too much – keep events simple
It is possible to run web-based quizzes in the great outdoors on tablets!
Waterproof everything. Trust me, just do it.
