Dotik is a project aimed at developing and testing methodologies for training explainers (animators, demonstrators, pilots, mediators, guides,...) to effectively promote a science/society dialogue, and to act as strategic, two-way interfaces between science museums and their public.

Dotik is a 24-month project funded by the European Union
under the Science and Society section of the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development

Dotik is the slovenian word for "contact".

Ad hoc participatory events are held by science museums and other institutions to stimulate the involvement of citizens in scientific debates and decisions. We believe that it is also crucial to create a more widespread fabric of participation, disseminating the culture of science/society dialogue in all informal learning contexts and activities of popularization of science.
