    Friday 6 August marks the end of National Science Week and Grahamstown will host the most diverse and interactive forum that will bring learners, students, educators, lecturers, researchers and members of
    the general public together to discuss issues around biodiversity conservation and its economic role.

    The World Café is a structured and facilitated discussion which aims to encourage conversation, debate ideas and brainstorm solutions to a particular issue.

    Conversations are timed and once the time is up, participants move on to form new groups and build on the conversation from their last group.

    The conversations link and build on each other as people move between groups, crosspollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the issues at hand.

    2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity and the theme for National Science Week is “The role of science in economic development”.

    Combining the two themes,the National Science Week World Café will explore the potential economic benefits drawn from conserving our biodiversity.

    The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity Managing Director, Prof Paul Skelton will open the event with a lecture entitled “B for Biodiversity- to B or not to B”.

    The World Café will take place on Friday, 6 August at the Graemian Centre, Graeme College, from 2pm to 5.30pm.

    Tickets cost R20 for adults and R10 for scholars, and cover the cost of your entrance and tea, coffee and
    eats.

    Pre-bookings are preferable but tickets will be on sale at the door. Please contact Tina Moss on 046 603 1106 or email tina@scifest.org.za for your bookings.
