<p>While many of our efforts in science communication were educational, we also recognized the importance of public engagement through activities
that were not focused on formal education but rather on raising awareness. Initiatives like MUKOmove and our waffle sale were essential in bringing
cystic fibrosis (CF) into public focus and showing a visible commitment to the cause.</p>
<p>While being a superficial contact, publich enganegment and outreach serves as a reminder that science does not happen in isolation - it is rooted
in real-world problems that impact individuals and communities. Establishing presence allows diverting interest to our project and our cause which in turn
paves the way to edcuate interested people and laying the groundwork for a deeper connection between us and our project and the general public. </p>
<H4 id="out-heading" text="Our public engagement"/>
<p>Our public engagement served both as a form of spreading awareness and to establish first contacts. By inviting other people in Bielefeld to join our team
for MUKOmove, we were able to reach a wider audience and foster connections that extended beyond our university.</p>
<p>In addition to our in-person events, we used social media as a tool to keep the community engaged and updated. We shared our progress in
MUKOmove, promoted our events, and posted educational content about cystic fibrosis and gene therapy. Our social media presence helped us
stay connected with a broader audience, ensuring that even those who could not attend our events could still follow along and support our mission.</p>
<p>
Through these efforts, we also made valuable connections, resulting in an interview with the "Muko Dino" Thomas Malenke[Link]. This highlighted the power
of online platforms in expanding our reach and fostering collaboration beyond our immediate community.</p>

<p>To support our research project and raise funds for our iGEM team at Bielefeld University, we decided to organize a waffle sale in the main hall of the university. This initiative was aimed at raising awareness about our project and collecting funds for our research into cystic fibrosis. </p>
<p>The sale took place in cystic fibrosis awareness month May in the Great Hall of our University. As people passed by, we engaged them by introducing our research group and explaining our project’s objectives. We shared information about cystic fibrosis and why we are raising money. Our goal was to not only just to sell waffles, but also to educate the university community about our research and its’ potential impact. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Many were genuinely interested in our work and asked for more details about our research and the goals of our project. This enthusiasm strengthened our commitment to the project and highlighted the importance of community involvement in scientific research. </p>
<p>The waffle sale was a great success, both in terms of raising funds and increasing awareness about our work within the university. It was a collaborative effort that brought our team closer together and demonstrated the power of community support in advancing scientific research. </p>

<h3>What is MUKOmove?</h3>
<p>As part of the cystic fibrosis awareness month May, we took part in this year's <a href="https://www.muko.info/mukomove">MUKOmove</a> from May 8th to May
12th under the team name iGEM Bielefeld. MUKOmove is a participatory sports initiative organized by
<a href="https://www.muko.info/"> Mukoviszidose e.V.</a>, the German Cystic Fibrosis Association, aimed at raising awareness and funds
for cystic fibrosis research and support. This annual event encourages individuals and teams to
engage in various physical activities, track their movement, and share their experiences online. </p>

<h3>Why and in which ways were we invested in MUKOmove? </h3>
<p>While MUKOmove was not a scientific or educational event, it played an important role in demonstrating our presence in the broader CF
community.</p>
<p>We did not stop at our participation itself - we wanted to make other people from our university and city
aware of the event and collect sport hours for cystic fibrosis with them by inviting them to join our team.
Our survey about cystic fibrosis awareness and our discussions with <a onClick={() => goToPagesAndOpenTab('InvWesthoff', '/human-practices?tab=')}>Kathrin Westhoff</a>, the head of a
practice for physiotherapy in Gütersloh who is also treating young CF patients, showed us how little known
this illness still is. Especially the interview with the physiotherapist made us realize how important
exercise is for everyone and how it brings a community together - we wanted to establish MUKOmove in
Bielefeld. That is why we really got the publicity going by putting up posters and distributing flyers
at the university and in our city as you can see in the following picture. </p>

<p>We also called for MUKOmove on our socials and set our team a goal of collecting 240 hours doing sports together,
while the entire MUKOmove had a goal of collecting 24,000 sport hours. In cooperation with our university's
sports facilities, using their <a href="https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/einrichtungen/hochschulsport/zusatzangebote/houbi/">“HOUBI-Aktivmobil"</a> and other equipment, we organized a team event at the sports
ground of our university at the begin of MUKOmove. Everyone was warmly invited to our event on May 8th, and
it was a lot of fun to play various sport games together outside in the sun - check out in the following
video! </p>

<h3>What did we achieve?</h3>
<p>We are happy to announce that both movement goals were surpassed: Team iGEM Bielefeld was able to collect 358 sport hours, and everyone who took part in MUKOmove together collected 36,542 sport hours! </p>
<p>The MUKOmove was therefore a complete success, and we take pride in having contributed to the goal while raising more awareness for cystic fibrosis in our region and Germany as a whole.</p>
