Abstract

The proposed thematic session “Paleontology Education and Outreach” aims to create an accessible space for sharing innovative approaches in paleontological science education and community engagement. The session will focus on two primary areas: educational initiatives and outreach activities. Contributions will highlight teaching methodologies, curriculum development, museum exhibitions, public science communication, and strategies for making paleontological research accessible to diverse audiences. By promoting knowledge exchange and demonstrating the social significance of paleontological research, this session intends to inspire new educational practices and foster interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, educators, and communicators.
