Place: Newcastle City Library (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)

Name of the event: Brain Awareness Week (Newcastle)

Title of your presentation: I will be talking about neuroscience in general to the public that walks into the library. It is basically an outreach event in which I will present the activity of the lab and along with other volunteers, talk a little about movement neuroscience (related to my PhD). This event includes educational activities with children (printouts of fact sheets, myth or truth guessing games, finding the words games, books display and short presentations), and chats with the public.

About the event: Brain Awareness Week is a global campaign to foster public enthusiasm and support for brain science. Every March, participants host imaginative activities in their communities that share the wonders of the brain, and the impact brain science has on our everyday lives.
