The Voices for Vaccines Project team at DCU are delighted to invite you to our Launch event on Friday 15th July at 11:30am CEST.
A Co-created Accessible Website to Combat Vaccine Misinformation & Disinformation
------------------------------------------------------------
This live webinar will launch health campaign materials that were co-created with community partners and parents, to distinguish evidence-based scientific information from mere opinions and disinformation.
The Science Foundation Ireland's Discover Programme funded project, 'Voices for Vaccines' is an exciting, innovative, and seminal project that worked directly with diverse community partners to inspire confidence in the science behind vaccines and counteract vaccine misinformation and disinformation.
In collaboration with parents, and primary caregivers, early learning outreach workers and early learning educators, the Voices for Vaccines project has developed health campaign materials to assist people in distinguishing evidence-based scientific information from misinformation and disinformation. This project has developed and co-created health messaging that has been translated into campaign materials (infographics, videos and information leaflets). These use the diverse voices of parents, early learning educators and outreach workers to counteract disinformation and promote vaccine uptake among peers. The messages counter common myths and promote recognition of evidence-based vaccine information. They have been developed into a user friendly and accessible website and accompanying health materials.

Webinar on evaluation of events and programs, Tuesday, 19/7
Climate change and COVID are driving a push for more science communication events. This demand has generated a better exploration of what science communication actually achieves, who it reaches, and what impact it has. These questions concern experts in disciplines ranging from risk and environmental communication, to health communication.
Critical evaluation is an essential tool of designing and running better projects and events. We mean evaluation practices based on a clear set of relevant goals, with an emphasis on a stringent methods, transparent about the evaluation process and its limitations, and using the results to formulate helpful recommendations.
This discussion on the practice and theory of evaluating science communication is a conversation with international experts, with time for questions.
With Toss Gascoigne, Jenni Metcalfe, and Helen Featherstone.
How to join
The event will run on Tuesday 19 July, at 07.30 UTC (5.30 pm Eastern Australia, 8.30am London). It is open to all. Register https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpduquqzksHtaatscUAuflL-mVZdtFN4_3
