Engaging older people through science festivals CHSS Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant Report

1

This is a report on the Engaging older people through science festivals project, funded by a CHSS

Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant (£2,475.50). The applicants were Professor Catharine Ward

Thompson, Dr Katherine Brookfield and Dr Sara Tilley, all of whom are based in the OPENspace

research centre. The project was funded in 2015 and ran from 2nd February to 10th April that year

under the public-facing title, Habitats for Happy Ageing. As well as the three principal applicants, it

was undertaken by support staff, Máire Cox, Anna Orme and Helena Satonick.

Why did we undertake the project?

Older people are a large (and growing) stakeholder community who are often marginalised in

knowledge exchange and, generally, in society. Science festivals rarely pitch events at an older

audience and, when they do, these events most often take the form of traditional lectures.

Given the opportunity to run an event at the Edinburgh International Science Festival (EISF), we

wanted to explore if a more interactive festival format – the type used to engage children and young

people in science – could be used to raise older people’s awareness of environmental psychology;

how people experience places and spaces and what this means for their health and wellbeing. This is

vitally important, as going outdoors in later life can often seem daunting but is essential for good

quality of life, as evidenced in our research portfolio on ageing, wellbeing and outdoor access.

What were our project objectives?

1. To engage older people in social science, environmental psychology in particular, through a

popular festival format.

2. To open up science to an audience who are either completely new to the University of Edinburgh

or who usually engage with the University through the arts.

3. To help continue and strengthen the University’s relationship with the EISF.

4. To share emerging findings from our current research project, Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP):

raising awareness of the links between health, wellbeing and place; and impacting on our

audience’s ability to campaign for much needed policy changes in the area.

5. To embed MMP within the UN International Day of Happiness, a high-level international

campaign to secure better emotional wellbeing across the lifecourse.

6. To involve MMP partners, and other local, organisations in our activities: developing their

awareness of our project; and strengthening our links with them.

7. To help develop the knowledge exchange skills of two enthusiastic Early Career Researchers.

What format did the project take?

Under the banner Habitats for Happy Ageing, we built on a format trialled with a group of 10 older

people during the 2014 Midlothian Science Festival, developing it for use at the Edinburgh

International Science Festival (EISF) in April 2015.

We held a pilot event in the Reid Concert Hall on 20th March 2015, UN International Day of

Happiness, designed to ‘bridge the gap’ between the small-scale, care home-based session we

delivered in Midlothian and the larger, public-facing event expected by the EISF.

Keen to break away from the standard lecture format, we limited presentations to bite-sized, five-

ten minute talks interspersed with opportunities to:

view a range of visual material, including photographs, models and maps

speak to students involved in our co-design research

try on the EEG headset used in our research and see how it articulates brainwaves on a computer

take a short, paper-based mood test

The pilot event capped a wider exercise to co-create a temporary exhibition on ‘happy places’. This

involved members of the public sending us captioned photographs of places that make them feel

happy, with the images entered into a competition and displayed at the event (see below).

As our event took place during

Science and Engineering Week in a

local Edinburgh primary school, we

also had the opportunity to engage

people at the other end of the age

spectrum in Habitats for Happy

Ageing.

We ran two sessions for Primary 4

children (aged 8-9) in which we

introduced them to the concept of

social science, talked to them about

the links between where we live and how we feel, and guided them through interactive activities in

which they drew or modelled places which make them feel happy (or sad). We encouraged them to

think about the streets in their local area and how easy it would be to use them as an older person

or as someone with a disability. A collage of some of their artwork is shown above, right.

How did we work with partners?

Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP) is supported by a proactive group of 30 partners from government,

industry and the not-for-profit sector. At the outset of our project, we identified three of these

partners as being particularly well-placed to offer advice and expertise on engaging older people in

social science, based on their organisational activities and / or their links with our target audience.

The three partners were: Age Scotland; Architecture and Design Scotland; and the A City for All Ages

programme at the City of Edinburgh Council (ACfAA: CoEC).

Representatives from each of the three partner bodies formed a Steering Group to help develop and

deliver our project, meeting twice throughout its duration. In the first instance, they met to review

our proposal and suggest how we might use their networks to promote it. They then met again

towards the end of the project to judge the photography competition, together with guest judge,

John McGregor, a photographer and technician at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA).

The many benefits of having a Steering Group included:

Increased attendance at the pilot event. Five people identified on feedback forms that they had

received an email from a Steering Group member alerting them to the event. The partners also

assisted with social networking and with the distribution of printed posters and flyers.

Sourcing a key speaker. At our first meeting, Glenda Watt (ACfAA: CoEC) flagged up Val Bissland’s

expertise, both in research into happiness, and in the use of imagery for public engagement. Val

is a Psychology Tutor in the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Strathclyde, where

she also runs a short course called The Science of Happiness.

Increased participation in the photography competition. Age Scotland was running a similar

competition in the same timeframe, and asked entrants if they would like their images to be

shared with us. The eventual winner of our competition, Joyce Wyles, came via Age Scotland.

(Strategy Manager for A City for All Ages, The City of Edinburgh Council), John McGregor (photographer and

Scotland), and Greg McCracken (Policy Officer, Age Scotland).

At the outset of the project, we also approached another organisation, LOOPS (Local Opportunities

for Older People), to join the Steering Group. LOOPS is a new service run by Volunteer Centre

Edinburgh and is funded until autumn 2015, in the first instance.

Although unable to contribute to the Steering Group, LOOPS publicised Habitats for Happy Ageing at

a community drop-in event in Wester Hailes in early March. A subsequent meeting with the project’s

Community Navigator has helped consolidate our relationship with the LOOPS team, who are now

playing a proactive role in recruiting participants to our study, Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP).

How did we promote Habitats for Happy Ageing?

Our promotion strategy for Habitats for Happy Ageing focused on attracting attendees to the pilot

event, and encouraging them to enter our photography competition, rather than the EISF event. This

is because we could draw on the Festival’s sizeable resources to promote the latter; through its

inclusion in the official EISF brochure and on its website, it ‘sold out’ more than a week in advance.

To promote the pilot event, we worked with Nicky Regan, in-house Graphic Designer at Edinburgh

College of Art, to produce artwork for a flyer (see Appendix A) and poster (see Appendix B). Together

with friends and relatives, OPENspace researchers distributed the printed copies at c.75 destinations

over a wide geographical area in Edinburgh, from community centres and libraries, to supermarkets,

cafés, charity shops… and even an undertakers!

The artwork’s bright and positive aesthetic, achieved by applying eye-catching colour washes to

stock photo imagery, was well received. Feedback from the LOOPS Community Navigator following

the community drop-in event in Wester Hailes was that the flyers had attracted visitors to the LOOPS

information stand and that, generally, visitors were more likely to pick up our flyer than others

which were less brightly coloured and / or more text-based.

Electronic copies of the posters were circulated by our Steering Group members, other partners

affiliated with Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP), external organisations outside of our formal

partnership network (e.g. Paths for All), and through our social networking channel, Twitter. In the

68 days between the official start and end dates of our project, we posted a total of 23 tweets

related to Habitats for Happy Ageing, which were seen 15,977 times (an average of 695 times each)

and led to 252 interactions (shares, favourites, replies etc.; an average of 11 interactions per tweet).

The benefits of social networking did include event attendance (one attendee at the pilot event, who

worked in private practice, said they had found out about the event through Twitter), but by far the

greatest benefit was in negating the need to engage the media through a traditional press release.

By directly engaging with media outlets via Twitter, we secured press coverage by Maverick TV

(media partner of Living It Up Scotland), STV Edinburgh and the online paper, Later Life AGEnda.

As captured in screengrabs on the following page, STV Edinburgh ran a feature on the photography

competition element of our project which resulted in visitors to their website sending in their own

photos and anecdotes about why certain places made them feel happy. The story included a quote

from Research Associate, Dr Sara Tilley, highlighting important research messages about the

relationship between getting outdoors and quality of life, and included a link to the Mobility, Mood

and Place (MMP) website, thus raising awareness of the linked research.

We were told by Maverick TV that the following article was the most popular on the Living It Up

Scotland website for the week beginning Monday 16th March 2015…

As with the STV Edinburgh feature, the story included a quote from Research Associate, Dr Sara

Tilley, highlighting important messages from OPENspace research, and included a link to the

Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP) website, thus raising awareness of the linked research. It also

emphasised how OPENspace works with stakeholders to embed research in policy and practice, and

encouraged people – not only to attend the pilot event– but to actively participate in MMP.

On the strength of the feature, a Maverick TV journalist, Saskia Van Der Lingen, attended the pilot

event, spoke to researchers and participants, and wrote a follow-up piece entitled ‘Happy Places,

Revisited!’, which she published on the Living It Up website on 30th March 2015. This is an extract…

Speakers tackled the question of what causes happiness, followed by eye-opening discussions

between the audience and the presenters about what about our environment makes us happy, or

indeed, quite the opposite! What’s more, the speakers are genuinely interested in what you have to

say, and hope that the project’s findings will have real-life effects to improve environments for older

people (as well as everyone else!).

How many people attended our events?

Across both events - our pilot event and our EISF event - 56 people attended in total.

Of the 48 people who registered for the pilot event, 79% (38) attended on the day.

Of the 23 people who completed feedback forms (see below), we know that most attendees were

from Edinburgh, but we had others from Brechin (Angus), Dunfermline (Fife), Falkirk and Glasgow.

Seven (7) people said that they found out about the event through having received an electronic

version of the poster by email (either from ourselves or our partners), compared to four (4) who had

picked up a printed flyer and four (4) who had seen the event promoted online. Five (5) people said

that they had found out about the event “from a friend”.

Of the 40 people who registered for the EISF event (which was fully booked a week in advance), 45%

(18) attended on the day, together with six (6) people who had not booked through the Edinburgh

International Science Festival system. We feel that a sunny day, free admission, and no waiting list

functionality on the EISF system, might account for the relatively high number of no-shows on the

day, but remain committed to the principle of free admission to facilitate the widest possible

participation.

Of the 15 people who completed feedback forms (see below), we know that, again, most attendees

were from Edinburgh, but we had others from Durham (England) and Insch (Aberdeenshire).

On the feedback form for this event, we asked people to give the first part of their postcode to

better capture which part of Edinburgh (or elsewhere) they had come from. We also asked how they

had got to the venue (Evolution House, West Port, EH1). The results, for Edinburgh, were as follows:

EH3 1 (aged u65; walked)

EH4 1 (aged u65; walked)

1 (aged 65+; walked)

EH6 1 (aged u65; didn’t say)

1 (aged 65+; didn’t say)

EH7 1 (aged u65; didn’t say)

EH9 1 (aged u65; walked)

2 (aged 65+; walked)

EH10 1 (aged 65+; walked)

1 (age 65+; took bus)

EH11 1 (aged u65; didn’t say)

EH16 1 (aged u65; cycled)

How did we capture feedback?

Of the 56 people who attended our two events, 68% (38 people) completed feedback forms: 23

people at the pilot event on 20th March 2015; and 15 people at the Edinburgh International Science

Festival (EISF) event on 8th April 2015.

The questions we asked on these forms were designed to help us evidence how well we achieved

our objective of engaging older people in social science through a popular festival format, and to

measure our success in attracting new audiences to the University of Edinburgh.

We have attached samples of feedback forms as Appendices C and D, showing the degree of

uniformity between the two forms. The main differences between them were:

We did not ask participants attending the pilot event if they were planning to attend any events

at the Edinburgh International Science Festival (EISF).

We did not ask participants attending the EISF event how they had found out about it, as it had

been primarily promoted by only two means: the EISF website; and the EISF brochure.

Also, following evaluation of the first event, in which people did not answer our question on where

they’d travelled from as fully as we’d hoped, we changed its wording (but not its purpose).

Did we meet our project objectives?

1. Our events appealed to older people. More than half (21) of the 38 people who provided

feedback identified themselves as being aged 65 or over. Of these 21 older people, 90% (19

people) rated the event they attended as enjoyable: 10 people gave it the highest rating possible

(“very enjoyable”); nine (9) rated it as “quite enjoyable”. The science festival format worked well

for engaging both younger and older audiences. 35 out of 38 respondents answered our question

“Did we get the mix of activities right? What worked well?”, with the feedback being

predominantly positive across both age groups (under 65, and 65+). Two people commented,

specifically (and positively), on how “different” and “informal” the pilot event was. Across both

events, people commented on how much they enjoyed the speakers and the opportunity to

interact with them, and on how the mix and brevity of the presentations worked well, while

individuals commented on how interesting they found the mood test, how they appreciated

being able to try on the EEG headset used in our research, how the visual displays were a helpful

addition to the programme, and how much they appreciated the geographical material showing

Edinburgh across time.

2. We attracted new audiences to science at the University of Edinburgh. Of the 38 people who

provided feedback, 42% (16 people) had never been to an event at the University before, while

one, additional, individual had only ever been to University events related to our project,

Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP). Of the 16 ‘newcomers’, 100% rated the event as enjoyable:

nine (9) rated it as “very enjoyable”; seven (7) rated it as “quite enjoyable”. Half of the

‘newcomers’ (eight out of 16) identified themselves as being aged 65 or over. 11 of the 16 people

said they would come to a similar event again. One didn’t comment, three said ‘maybe’ and one

(from Brechin) said it was a long way to come. Of the 22 people who had attended other events

at the University of Edinburgh before, only five (5) people referred specifically to having attended

science/health related events. Most went to a mix of events, “whatever sounds interesting”; four

(4) people mentioned concerts and musical events, two (2) of which said they had attended such

events exclusively.

3. We established ECA, and the boardroom in Evolution House in particular, as a successful EISF

venue. Feedback on the room was overwhelmingly positive, with one person (who lived in EH6)

noting on their feedback form that its “handy location” would be a factor in whether they

attended another, similar event. Our evaluation processes also ensured that we were able to

provide the EISF planning team with good feedback on:

1. older people’s appetite for interactive science festival events on ageing;

2. the limitations of the EISF booking service (our event ‘sold out’ more than a week in advance,

but was undersubscribed on the day. If the booking service had waiting list functionality as per,

for example, Eventbrite, this may not have happened).

3. perceptions of signage and wayfinding at the festival (one respondent, aged 65+ who had

travelled some distance to attend), commented that the room was “great” but that, “general

comment on festival programme: I (and others) have found lack of easily accessible info re.

venues and how to find/walk to them. Lack of signposts and building names.”

4. We raised awareness of the links between health, wellbeing and place, and impacted on our

audience’s ability to campaign for policy changes in the area. Of the 38 people who completed

feedback forms, 89% (34 people) rated the event they attended as having been useful: 10 gave it

the highest possible rating (“very useful”); and 24 rated it “quite useful”. Answers to the question

“how might you use what we’ve presented today” included...

“work on the council to improve the pavements around my address and to get out more often”

“will report back to the Edinburgh Health Forum”

“impress on councillors the benefits from a better environment”

“as a member of a neighbourhood improvement group, will take ideas and contacts back”

“knowledge that research is going on is always useful”

The five comments above are all from people aged 65+. A further two people in this age group

commented that the pilot event had encouraged them to “walk more”.

Comments from people aged under 65 included…

“helping ageing mother in life”

“it’s good to be reminded about happiness factors”

“I’ll be passing on some of the messages / looking up some more info”

“design process enhancement”

“[in] blogging and sci-fi writing”

“bending people’s ears”

“I’m a health journalist with a particular interest in psychology and mental health [and] found the

insight from speakers very interesting”

“by working on improving wellbeing of older people” (also from a journalist)

“To participate, if possible, at some future date (I’m over 60, not yet 65 years old). To be even

more aware of my local environment and of doing what I can to enhance the elderly’s use of it”

5. We associated the event, Happiness for Happy Ageing, and the linked research, Mobility, Mood

and Place (MMP), with two international initiatives: the UN International Day of Happiness (as

planned); and Brain Awareness Week, which we found out was scheduled for w/b 16th March

2015 during the planning stage of the project.

We highlighted the association with ‘Happiness Day’ in promotional material for our first event

(see Appendices A & B), and it was picked up on in media articles by STV Edinburgh and Maverick

TV for Living It Up Scotland. In a Google search for UN International Day of Happiness Edinburgh,

our pilot event shows up in four of the top five results, as per the following screengrab…

6. The project helped strengthen our links with MMP partners and other, local organisations. The

benefits of working with a Steering Group are covered earlier in this report (see page 3), as is the

progress we made in forging links with LOOPS (Local Opportunities for Older People).

Additionally, through promoting the project, we raised awareness of MMP with other

organisations outside of our formal partnership network, including the Ageing Well team at

Edinburgh Leisure, the Jack Kane Centre in Craigmillar, Edinburgh Garden Partners, and Paths for

All, a charity whose aim is to significantly increase the number of people who choose to walk in

Scotland. At least two MMP study participants have come through the charity and we have

entered into a dialogue about sharing knowledge on related work on Memory-Friendly

Neighbourhoods.

7. As a team, we all learned more about the nuances of knowledge exchange and public

engagement, not just our two Early Career Researchers, Sara and Katherine. It was extremely

beneficial to run the pilot event, as we learned a lot from it that we could fine tune for the EISF

event, which had a 100% positive rating, with 10 of 15 people surveyed giving it the highest

enjoyment rating possible (“very enjoyable”), and one attendee describing it as “perfect”.

Positive feedback from the pilot event confirmed that we had devised an appropriate format and

mix of activities; negative feedback about the acoustics and seating in the Reid Concert Hall

alerted us to the need to ensure that access to our next venue (Evolution House) was as easy as

possible and that speakers projected more (which was easier, anyway, in a smaller room). We

also had the opportunity to fine tune the feedback form before the EISF event to better capture

which part of Edinburgh people came from, and – based on our own experience of answering

questions during the pilot Q&A session – we decided to make the EISF Q&A more structured,

bringing in our colleague Mary Craig as a facilitator.

What footprint does the project leave?

As well as this report, which we hope will provide valuable information for both our funding body

and other researchers, particularly in social science, Habitats for Happy Ageing is recorded in:

Articles published online by STV Edinburgh and Living It Up Scotland (see pages 4-6)

An article by ECA website intern, Alice Chandler,

entitled ‘Intergenerational design – the benefits

of creating together’. This article is both a

review of the pilot event and a feature on the

co-design element of the linked research

project, Mobility, Mood and Place (MMP). One

of its strengths is that it features interviews with

some of the ECA students (pictured, by Ben

Schmulevitch, right) who participated in the

second year of MMP and, subsequently, in

Habitats for Happy Ageing. It therefore captures the benefit, to the student experience at ECA, of

forging closer links between teaching & learning and research at the University.

Full article on the Edinburgh College of Art website

A set of photographs of the pilot event, taken by ECA website intern, Ben Schmulevitch. Two of

these feature on page 2 of this report. We took our own photographs at the EISF event and at the

Science & Engineering event in the local primary school. All of these are available for future use.

We also have the 27 photographs entered into our Happy Places competition.

Professionally shot and edited videos of all the presentations from the pilot event, plus a short

trailer about Habitats for Happy Ageing. These have been added to the ECA vimeo channel and

the MMP Learning Resource Centre.

We have presented on the project to our Advisory Group, including partners from industry

(Anderson Bell Christie), charities (Living Streets, Stroke Association), and the public sector (NHS

Lothian) and intend to use our trailer video at future events, including at the presentation of our

results in the four UK parliaments and in the European Parliament. We have also spoken about the

event at a presentation to the Scottish Parliamentary Cross Party Group on Older People, Age and

Ageing, chaired by Sandra White MSP, and at a presentation to Disability Research Edinburgh.

Additionally, we plan to write an academic paper for an impact factor journal, such as Science

Communication, explaining and evaluating our experience of organising and delivering a targeted

science festival event for, primarily, older adults.

What evidence do we have of preliminary impact and what are the implications for MMP?

Through asking people, “How might you use what we’ve presented today”, we have a clear idea of

the types of ways in which people across all age ranges intend to use our research (see page 9). The

majority of the people who answered this question on our feedback form also left us their contact

details, so it will be possible to engage with them over the remainder of Mobility, Mood and Place

(MMP), and hopefully beyond, to find out if they achieve their goals.

People who left contact details after the pilot event have already been contacted. Of those who

invited us to speak to networks they are involved in, we are now scheduled to present to both the

Friends of the Meadows & Bruntsfield Links, and the Edinburgh Health Forum. We are also following

up an invitation to speak to the Port of Leith Housing Association.

We have developed better relations with local press and organisations over the course of Habitats

for Happy Ageing, leading both to better awareness of the issues around MMP (the links between

place and wellbeing) and of the nuances of the project itself. In turn, this has led to increased

recruitment, particularly to our ‘environment and affect’ study, in which we require up to 120 older

people to walk a short urban route wearing a neuro-headset which measures their brain activity. As

of the reporting date, 63 people have signed up to participate; of which at least five have come

through Habitats for Happy Ageing.

Through our photography competition, we have an annotated visual record of people’s engagement

with, and attitudes towards, outdoor space and of the importance, to them, of capturing and sharing

the benefits with others through photographs. The feedback below is from the winner of our

competition, whose caption for her photograph series (of her garden throughout the year) was:

“My garden has been the love of my life. When I am feeling low and depressed to go out into my

garden and work cheers me up and I feel very happy and so much better.

Since losing my husband 30 years ago and moving to this new property with a back garden that was

empty except for a lawn which was more moss than grass, I have worked and worked on it to get

perfection, now unfortunately at 82 years I am unable to do much as have severe mobility problems,

so enjoy sitting in my conservatory and seeing the lovely garden I have created and this makes me

feel very happy.

I still potter and do what I can which is very therapeutic and gives me great enjoyment too. So I can

say that my garden is my little bit of heaven on earth and definitely my “Habitat for Happy Ageing”.

Dear Maire,

Thank you so much for sending me an email

yesterday showing the winners of the Habitats

for Happy ageing competition, I was so

surprised to see that I had won the competition

this gave me great pleasure as I have never ever

entered a competition before and at the age of

82 was somewhat surprised to see I had won. I

have seen my two photographs [on the STV

Edinburgh site] and I felt so proud to see them

displayed and all the write up.

What did we learn from our project overall?

Our capacity and appetite for engaging with science in alternative ways doesn’t dissipate as we get

older. Interactive, festival-style events can be as effective for engaging older people with science as

they are for younger audiences.

An appropriate venue is key to a good event, particularly for audiences who may have problems with

their hearing and/or their mobility. Choose your venue carefully. People’s perceptions of how

enjoyable, and even useful, they find an event are highly influenced by their surroundings.

Evaluation forms are effective in capturing feedback, but they require careful consideration and

wording. Our question, “How might you use what we’ve presented today”, was perhaps the most

useful on our form; it yielded good, qualitative answers regarding people’s intention to act on our

research and, coupled with contact details, may be useful in monitoring future impact.

Q&A sessions at events are valued by audience members as a chance to engage more directly with

speakers, but they can easily be monopolised by individuals. Having a facilitator to guide Q&A

sessions and ‘bank’ questions helps ensure that the process is more democratic and gives speakers

time to consider their answers.

Public and press interest in research is not limited to results. If the methodology is innovative, the

story of “how” you are undertaking your research can be as engaging as “what” you think you will

find. A ‘personal interest’ angle is useful, as is appropriate imagery. The two together are a perfect

combination, hence why people responded warmly to our invitation to capture and share their

happy place in a photo, and why this aspect of the project generated particular press interest.

Social media is a highly effective tool in reaching public and press audiences quickly and easily. In

terms of getting ‘bums on seats’, a mixture of physical and electronic promotional material works

effectively, and partners are able to play a key role in distributing both.

I don’t normally come along to things like this. I just

keep myself to myself. I’m glad I did, though. I really

enjoyed it.

Participant at pilot event.

This is our favourite piece of

feedback. It comes from an older

gentleman who had never been to an

event at the University of Edinburgh

before, had found out about Habitats

for Happy Aging from a printed flyer,

rated the pilot event as both “very

enjoyable” and “very useful”, and left

his contact details to be kept up to

speed with the research.
