Phase 2: ResearchText, contents, speech, relations

• Who has participated in this first phase of the project• Which science topics have been addressed?• How do participants relate science and city?

• What approach have the participants provided?• What does it mean to conduct an experiment in

the city for the participants?• How participants have used the audiovisual

language?• How does participation influence in the public

involvement?

MotivationWe run this project:• Because we want to promote critical

thinking, creativity and problem solving and we believe in learning by doing.

• Because we want citizens to see that science is present in their city.

• Because we want to share the scientific methodology.

• Because we want to increase the number of beneficiaries of the science communication activities and therefore, we must explore new methods that are more in line with the new types of society: global, interdisciplinary, technology, etc.
