The CONCISE project is recruiting citizens willing to participate as volunteers in the citizen’s dialogues taking place on 26 October 2019 at the UV Botanical Garden. This consultation will be organised around various informal groups in which participants will discuss about science related topics. 100 participants from all around Spain will meet in Valencia to talk about vaccines, climate change, genetically modified organisms and the use of supplementary and alternative medicine. This activity is part of the CONCISE project, funded by the European Commission and organised by FyG Consultores and the Universitat de València.

No previous knowledge about the topics to be discussed requiered. In fact, the main objective of this activity is that the citizens contribute to improving how scientific information reaches societe. We want to know you opinions, doubts and experiences Therefore, all volunteers are welcomed. The only requirements are to live in Spain, speak Spanish fluently, be over 18 and fill this questionnaire.

The activity will take place on 26 October 2019 from 9am to 17:00pm. CONCISE will be responsible for all travel, accommodation and food expenses. Furthermore, the volunteers will receive a packet of appealing presents, among which are included tickets for touristic attractions from Valencia. There will also be activities for the younger ones, so that you can come with your children and enjoy an enriching day at the Botanical Garden.

The European project CONCISE analyses the role of the scientific communication in the creation of opinions, perceptions and understanding of scientific subjects. The consultations, which will be held in 5 different European countries, want to explore the means/channels (media and social networks, life experiences, relatives, religion, political ideology, educational system...) through which the EU citizens acquire their science related knowledge and how this knowledge affect their beliefs, opinions and perceptions.
