Post Term: BIOCANNDO

BioCannDo webinar series: recordings and reports

BioCannDo aimed to increase awareness of bio-based products – products partly or wholly made of biomass –  and informed about potential and long-term benefits of a vibrant bioeconomy sector to the wider public. It also offered a platform for feedback, interaction and engagement in the wider discussion on the value of a bio-based economy.

To facilitate exchange within the project’s networks (of projects and initiatives dealing with bioeconomy communication issues, and of bioeconomy educational  actors) two series of BioCannDo webinars were implemented, targeting:

  • stakeholders that want to engage with others and learn more on how to communicate the benefits of the bioeconomy
  • educators involved in developing and/or teaching bio-based (online) educational materials or programmes in Europe.

Recordings and reports of the webinar series can be accessed at http://www.allthings.bio/past-events/

BioCannDo mapping of bioeconomy educational materials and actors

It also offered a platform for feedback, interaction and engagement in the wider discussion on the value of a bio-based economy.

BioCannDo mapped educational materials originating from four focus countries (Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Belgium) looking into the primary, secondary, vocational and university levels.

It also offered a platform for feedback, interaction and engagement in the wider discussion on the value of a bio-based economy.

BioCannDo developed multi-stakeholder proven key messages for communicating functionality and sustainability aspects of bio-based products with the general public. A dedicated factsheet and additional communication materials are available for each of three product groups: household cleaning products, insulation materials, food packaging). A fourth factsheet describes key messages on the bioeconomy in general.

The BioCannDo online portal and information hub contains the legacy of the BioCannDo project. It aggregates the different social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) used and communication formats/tools developed (including journalistic articles, web videos, storytelling resources, popular science quizzes, “facts or myths” and problem solving posts, et cetera).

Also provides access to four factsheets with Key Messages and four interactive storytelling kits. The sets contain in both cases a generic introduction and three product-specific items (addressing bio-based cleaning products, insulation materials & food packaging).
