Monday and Tuesday I will be in Brussels at #FARI, talking about how #AI empowers #participation (Session 4, Day 1). Will I meet you there?

📘 Attention, all librarians interested in #CitizenEngagement:
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission published a guide with inspiring practices like the Comon Gent project in De Krook library of Ghent.

One of the reasons why people feel so much #alienation from #science is that no relevant connections are offered for their lives.

We need to think beyond #industry, #government, and #engineering when we think about #practical #applications of scientific #research. #Philosophy, #politics, and #art are relevant applications as well, and often more personal to people who feel alienated from science as we know it.

Nuclear physics feels more relevant when you're talking about Geiger counters being used to assess accident sites than when you're talking about them being used at bomb testing sites, even though the physics is essentially the same. Biochemistry feels more relevant when you're talking about water testing to monitor aquatic ecosystems for toxins than when you're talking about quality control for PepsiCo, even if you're talking about pH testing in both cases. Astronomy feels more relevant when you're talking about beautiful, profound JWST images that taught you something that amazed you about the universe we live in, than when it's a simple list of "fun facts" about galaxies. Chemistry feels more relevant when you get to try an experiment yourself in different ways, than when you're watching someone else do it formulaically.

Because one directly impacts people's lives for the better in meaningful ways, and the other causes harm, exists only for profit, or is totally abstract. One involves the #active #participation and #engagement of the learner with their own #curiosity, and the other is being lectured to by someone who thinks they know what's "really" important.

If you want to #interest more people in #learning and science, ask them #questions. Emphasize the #process of science, don't treat it as a set of established #facts. Engage with #issues of #representation and #ethics in your field, as well as #interdisciplinary work. And find ways to make your work felt positively in people's lives. Change what a #scientist is, and what science is for.

Very interesting and topical talk by our fellow Catherine Bolzendahl, visiting from Oregon State University, about #Gender Gaps in Online #Political #Participation and the effects of hateful comments against women on their political engagement online. Very exciting and fruitful cooperation with the Weizenbaum Panel (Martin Emmer, Christian Strippel and Katharina Heger).

"La #CFDT soutient le développement d’un #dialogueSocial territorial, appuyé par une #participation citoyenne autour des besoins en #servicesPublics, des #relocalisations, des espaces de collaboration ou de #ressourcerie. C’est la condition d’une transformation co-construite et acceptée.

Cet avis propose un équilibre entre la réglementation, l’accompagnement, la #fiscalité, la #redistribution, le lien social, la #formation et l’#éducation."

Entretien autour de “La démocratie participative : source de plus d'égalité ou miroir grossissant des inégalités ?” dans le cadre des 7èmes rencontres européennes de la #participation.

https://t.co/U5bSFo7IlN

Sommaire :
- les recherches sur l’inclusion dans les dispositifs participatifs
- les apports et limites des dispositifs par tirage au sort
- "faire participer" = "faire #démocratie" ?
- de la #démocratieparticipative et délibérative à "l'intelligence collective" ?

[Revue de presse🗞️]
Poitiers évalue son tirage au sort « fait maison » qui a conduit élus et agents à recruter en porte-à-porte un panel de 100 citoyens. La méthode se révèle efficace sur l’inclusion et sur la diversité mais ne garantit pas une mobilisation durable.

Un article de Valérie Urman pour DémocratieS - le média critique de la #participation.
