Geoscience outreach is increasingly becoming key to build bridges between scientists and society. In light of modern environmental challenges, misinformation, science denial, and social inequality, it is necessary for scientists to actively engage with the public to ensure their research reaches all sectors and contributes to the decision-making processes that shape modern life. Making science more accessible, transparent, and participatory inspires the new generations and fosters trust in scientific advances. With this session, we look to highlight contributions and initiatives that exploit the potential of outreach and education to make geoscience a public good. We look to show how science communication breaks stereotypes, reduces misinformation, and promotes inclusivity and equity, as it enhances public understanding of complex topics, especially, though not exclusively, in Quaternary sciences. During the session, we aim to encourage an intergenerational and intercultural exchange by sharing experiences and practices involving traditional and modern communication tools (e.g., social media). This session seeks to provide a space for dialogue on how accessible knowledge empowers communities and on science’s role as a driver of social change, in, for example, underrepresented regions such as the Global South.
