🌿 The final day of BIOLOGUE’s Kick-off Meeting! Over the three days, partners came together to exchange knowledge, strengthen connections, discuss ideas, and lay the foundations for successful collaboration throughout the project. 🤝 ‼️ Stay tuned for further BIOLOGUE updates!

🌿 Our day concluded with a broad discussion workshop among all project partners, where the main topics were future collaboration and mutual work. 🤩 We were delighted to also welcome the coordinator of our sister project - DRAGONS Project, Jackie Abell, discussing future collaborations.

Finally, we heard from Arjen Buijs @w-u-r.bsky.social, who touched base on the future steps towards our Biodiversity Perceptions Barometer. 🤩 Stay tuned and follow along. We have a day left, but there is still much to come.

Day 2️⃣ of BIOLOGUE's Kick-off meeting is continuing at full speed! 🔹 Today, we have heard from Work Packages 3 and 4, where partners from the @eurolandorg.bsky.social and @IUCN presented the road to impact and their work's aims, objectives and methods towards our Biodiversity Communication Toolbox.

🤗 Johannes Langemeyer from @se3dslab.bsky.social spoke about online citizen engagement and relational values, and how, when conversations on science, biodiversity and nature take place on social media, things tend to become complicated.

🙌 We also heard from project partners from @slu-global.bsky.social about their main objectives in Work Package 2 of drafting structures for innovative communication approaches.

Rina Tsubaki from @efieuropeanforest.bsky.social gave partners a great opportunity for collaboration and networking, featuring an interesting workshop on identifying strengths, opportunities and potential threats for the project.

🤩 BIOLOGUE has officially kicked off! 🌿 Starting today, all project partners will begin their collaborative work towards transforming communication and conversation about biodiversity. We heard from our coordinator, Marko Lovric (@w-u-r.bsky.social) who presented an overview of the project.

BIOLOGUE will provide evidence and tools to help policymakers navigate differing perspectives, foster meaningful dialogue, and build lasting, effective solutions. Stay tuned for updates on our work towards stronger, inclusive biodiversity policies and communication! Coordinator: @w-u-r.bsky.social
