The Potential of Local Science Festivals for a Sustainable Society --A case study of the hakodate international science festival
In this paper, I describe a local science festival that I began designing in 2008 and which has been held each year since 2009.I use this case to consider the significance of local science festivals as learning environments for citizens.It is worth mentioning that the design of the local science festival discussed here involved the application of learning theory and philosophy.Rather than knowledge transfer or knowledge acquisition, science communication is contingent on inter-personal activity performed through conversations that are inseparable from the situations in which they occur.Science communication is a part of learning activities and should be defined as a process of interaction that transcends a single individual, emerging in the context of social relationships within a broadly inclusive community.Moreover, conviviality,the vernacular, and the commons will also be important when considering the significance of local science festivals.Many cities in Japan and around the world face situations like the one discussed here.It will be meaningful to share the lessons learned and design model used in this case as a cultural apparatus.I believe that local science festivals will contribute to creating a sustainable and resilient society.
