Training on „Recruitment and Retention of Citizen Scientists“

Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI) is in charge of training and mutual learning activities of the StepChange project. These activities build on the preliminary work conducted together with Science for Change mapping the training needs of the Citizen Science Initiatives (CSIs) organised in the project. We then compiled a targeted training portfolio tackling the needs identified beforehand.

The training schemes are presented in a series of online workshops designed on the one hand to introduce and test different engagement methods and to offer train-the-trainer materials to be used by the CSIs while dealing with their specific target groups.
