Who is a full-time mediator?
Mediators are the public face of Science Gallery Bengaluru exhibitions, and converse with visitors about the various concepts explored in our themed exhibition-seasons. They are often the first point of contact for visitors, and drive the experience of the exhibition by sharing insights, provoking questions and triggering debates. They also get behind the scene access to the various forces that shape an exhibition-season at Science Gallery Bengaluru! Working with the SGB team, they will also have the opportunity to create learning experiences and resources connected to the themes of CALORIE.
Mediators will:
- Train with exhibiting artists and scholars to understand the process behind the creation of different exhibits.
- Work with the Science Gallery Bengaluru team to curate and manage audience experience on the exhibition floor.
- Create and manage SGB’s learning resources such as the Student Learning Experiences, Activity Handbooks, Exhibition-in-a-Box, OpenCourseware, and more.
- Conceptualise and execute informal programmes related to the theme of the exhibition-season.
- Develop skills in communication, writing, critical thinking, and design thinking.
- Have the opportunity to secure a PG Certification in Science and Public Engagement at the end of the programme.
- Support outreach efforts by representing SGB at offsite events.
