enhance attending the scientific debate
Inquiriy on young peoples perception of
science and scientific values MAIN
TECHNIQUES Group discussion, metaplan, survey,
didactic activities AIM Reduce the distance
between people and science
PARTICIPANTS Adult lay people (most women) KIND

PROPOSITIVE METHOD Participatory techniques that
enhance building a political agenda MAIN
TECHNIQUES Group discussion, qualitative
inquiry, open space technology AIM Reduce the
distance between people and politics
Main common goal
Gaining the possibility to include own desires
and points of views in the science policy debate
The two experiences have many points in common
nevertheless, as they consider with priority
different social groups (students within or
without an area/citizens in an area) and have a
slight different general objective (participation
in the scientific/in the social debate), each one
carries out a different model of participatory
process within the concept of deliberative
democracy. This explains the main differences of
the two experiences a. etero-organised vs
self-organised system b. role of endogenous and
exogenous documentation c. structured vs open
interviews. For both experiences a question
arises relating to the main meaning given to
participation large presence (quantitative) or
in depth capacity to be propositive and
deliberative? The challenge is to integrate as
much as possible the two participatory processes,
to profit by open space within a scientific
context the core of the question is how to
define a proper participation technique model
within a highly formalised (and sometimes highly
autonomous) context as school is.
