Science educators: bridging the gap between the scientific community and society

Abstract The benefits of the science workshop for the general public, universities and research, identified through six years’ experience as a science educator in archaeology within ArkéoTopia, will be established. The conditions these benefits depend on will subsequently be presented: training workshop leaders, scientific choices and educational and philosophical choices. Following these observations, the need to change current practice surrounding science workshops will be elaborated on. Consequently, a circular structure between the scientific community and civil society supervised by the science educator will be proposed. This structure will enable mutual understanding and enrichment involving not only civil society but also the scientific community through the science educator. To do this, the beginnings of a solution are proposed based upon a digital platform, which could be envisaged at a French level or an international level.
