Workshop WG 4: "People-Places-Stories"
at the Citizen Science Workshop Day at Univiersity of Geneva
Maximum number of participants: 25
Relationships play a key role in the context of the "Grand Challenges" (Future Earth, H2020) - both in the context of sustainable development and the exchange of knowledge. Citizen Science depends on the engagement of citizens and builds upon trustful relationships between all people involved in the processes of knowledge generation.
Dialogues exchange knowledge, ideas or opinions. Dialogues also trigger discourses and are essential to reach amicable agreements. The facets of the goals and impacts of dialogues are prominent in many citizen science projects. As a matter of facts, without dialogues citizen science would not be successful.
We propose a workshop to shed light on the scientific and societal values of dialogues in citizen science and expand this understanding towards additional narratives. The session invites you to an exchange of experiences in the form of a "narrative café" on content orientations, methodological questions, concrete requirements and impacts of narrative approaches in an dialogue. As a joint work, small sculptures of clay are created in dialogue in addition to the words. Join our hands-on arty workshop and learn more about dialogues and other narratives. Please sign up for your participation here. For organising reasons we will need to know the numbers of participants.
Keywords: storytelling, dialogue, participatory research, call to write, narrative interviews, narrative café, pottery
