About Science Stories Africa
“As a science communicator, I struggled with the question of behavioral change. Why is it that there are many life-changing innovations in Africa by Africans but adoption and appreciation is low? This is especially true in the GMO conversation; where people say they don’t want GMOs but when you explain the concept to them; they realize they’d have no problem with genetic engineering and its products! It then dawned on me that we need MORE awareness but in a way that makes science both fun and accessible; which is STORYTELLING” Patricia Nanteza (Founder and Director, Science stories Africa)
Mission
To improve public appreciation of science
Who we are
Science Stories Africa is a public engagement platform that seeks to improve public appreciation of science in Africa through the power of story telling .
How we work
We work with research scientists who are on the precipice of releasing their research products or whose research product is already on the market.
After a 5-day intense training on storytelling and public speaking, the scientists are offered an opportunity to share their stories before a live audience in a theater; coupled with live performances from talented artists
