Collaborative design of educational and urban spaces
Coimbra (Portugal)11:00
De 04 Dez até 04 Dez, 2023
Partimos da vontade de partilhar e debater experiências nacionais e internacionais sobre as possíveis ligações entre a investigação em ciências sociais, humanidades e artes e os contextos escolares e educativos. O objetivo é ampliar o âmbito de atuação das possibilidades de investigação, a partir de uma perspetiva de ciência cidadã. Para tal, partimos de parcerias e colaborações diretas entre investigadores/investigadoras de contextos académicos e contextos educativos, incluindo a partilha de experiências concretas de intervenção colaborativa nos espaços educativos e nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
Esta oficina permite, assim, concretizar um lugar do diálogo com diversos atores ligados à educação e à investigação: investigadores, professores, diretores de escola, estudantes, famílias, ativistas comunitários. Em concreto, pretendemos ampliar a produção de conhecimento sobre novos formatos de organização do espaço educativo e do espaço público das cidades, partindo de uma experiência concreta, com a EB1 Quinta das Flores (Agrupamento de Escolas Coimbra Sul). Nesta iniciativa, investigadores, professores e alunos colaboraram na criação de novas propostas para o desenho dos espaços da escola. Iremos também contar com a colaboração do Zás Coletivo, um grupo de jovens arquitetos e estudantes de arquitetura, que trarão a sua experiência de intervenção nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
This is the 4th workshop organised by CC.EDU | Working Group on Citizen Science and Education under the Series 'Building Educational Communities'
Co-CiPhil: Co-creating Environmental Citizen Science Capacity in the Philippines
Cagayan de Oro City (Filipinas)De 06 Nov até 17 Nov, 2023
The MSU – Iligan Institute of Technology is currently hosting the Co-CiPhil: Co-creating Environmental Citizen Science Capacity in the Philippines VLIR-UOS International Training Program (ITP) Workshop 2, taking place from November 6 to 17, 2023, at the Chali Beach Resort and Conference Center in Cagayan de Oro City. This two-week workshop, attended by 50 scholars representing various local and international state universities, as well as local government units and medical institutions, is part of a series of workshops on quantitative and qualitative methodologies in citizen science research. These workshops are collaboratively organized by Universiteit Hasselt (UHasselt), a prestigious Flemish university in Belgium, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), and the Visayas State University (VSU). The primary objective of the International Training Program (ITP) is to systematically incorporate global perspectives, fostering a supportive, inclusive, and networked learning environment. Through these programs, professionals enhance their transversal skills and gain state-of-the-art knowledge in sustainable development, transforming into globally aware citizens capable of driving positive change within their networks.
During the first week, the workshop delves into environmental monitoring and management (Course 3) under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Natalie Beenaerts from UHasselt. Emphasis is placed on the significance of co-creating citizen science or community-based research, with a specific focus on empowering women and other marginalized groups. In the subsequent week, Prof. Dr. Thomas Neyens from UHasselt leads discussions on establishing robust study designs, particularly in the context of observational studies and citizen science initiatives. The curriculum covers the foundational aspects of statistical study design, while also addressing practical considerations in less-than-ideal settings.

O papel da ciência cidadã na transformação das universidades

Fostering The Higher Education Sector In Europe: The Role of Citizen Science in Transforming Universities -
The European Commission is making a policy effort to provide support for the higher education system in the European Union, enabling it to effectively respond to the changing needs of society and the economy. Citizen science has the potential to play an important role in transforming the higher education system. Universities are now venturing into the realm of citizen science as a means to engage the public in scientific research, to teach science (or the scientific process) and promote alternative avenues of knowledge creation. Despite the potential advantages, citizen science is not yet widely adopted as a standard approach in high education and academic culture.
In this context, the European Citizen Science (ECS) project, which connects a rich citizen science community, wants to provide a space to exchange practical experiences in integrating and using citizen science practices in universities and to gather recommendations for the European Commission and other stakeholders in ways of supporting citizen science in the high education sector.
To do so, ECS is organising an online event for everyone (such as academics, educators, university staff, citizen science practitioners, early career researchers, policy makers, civil servants, general public and industry representatives) interested in learning about and discussing the role of citizen science in transforming universities in Europe.
