T6-5. Informal initiatives and polar inspiration: IPY in museums, art, films, books and drama

Proposed focus

Documenting and assessing exhibitions, events (including polar days/weeks), performances and polar books, from the viewpoint of IPY and of partner organizations.  

Reminder

In addition to presentations in papers, conference sessions and posters, EOC activities can be shown, screened, demonstrated or exhibited in other formats and on other conference arenas. We recommend that the sessions should be devoted to presentations of the scope, objectives and impact of EOC activities during IPY and discussions about the linkages between polar science and EOC. Complementary to the submission of an abstract, make sure you consider contributing to PolarEXPO, PolarCINEMA or PolarFESTIVAL.
