Deadline got extended: apply by Sunday 23rd June.

This call aims to identify a maximum of 17 Ecsite members who will host and facilitate discussion games (PlayDecide) tailored at young people in September-October 2013 as part of the EU funded project INPORFOOD.

A maximum of 17 Ecsite members will be selected to run at least 4 discussion games in their science centres with young people as participants (aged 14-21). The general topic of the game is Food & Health and it will mainly focus on raising debate/discussion between participants on controversial aspects, societal problems and innovations within this area.

The game will be produced by Ecsite (in English) and distributed in digital format to the chosen science centres.
