The UNESCO Chair supports North-South-South and South-South partnerships that build on and enhance the emerging consensus in knowledge democracy. It strengthens recent collaboration between the Higher Education section in UNESCO, the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNI), Global Alliance on Community University Engagement and other regional and global networks. It co-creates new knowledge through partnerships among universities (academics), communities (civil society) and government (policy makers) leading to new capacities; new solutions to pressing problems related to sustainability, social and economic disparities, cultural exclusion, mistrust and conflict; and awareness among policy makers; enhanced scholarship of engagement; and of social responsibility in Higher Education. The main focus areas of UNESCO Chair are research and knowledge production, policy dialogues and advocacy (strengthening social responsibility in Higher Education dialogues; technical support for policy-makers; strengthening capacity for Community-based Research), capacity development, enhancement, and dissemination (new web site launch; policy briefs for donors; provision of trainings; development of learning materials; creation of a YouTube channel; additional selected publications). UNESCO Chair current project is Knowledge for Change (K4C) that will train next generation of mentors and leaders in Community Based Research (CBR) to a global standard developed by UNESCO Chair on CBR around the world, especially in global south and excluded north. The critical challenges facing humanity today require new understandings and solutions. Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require new insights and connections locally and globally. New understandings and innovative solutions have been shown to be catalysed through co-construction of knowledge carried out in respectful partnership with local communities. UNESCO Chair has developed global standards of curriculum and pedagogy for training next generation of researchers in CBR methodology. |

The developed strategies and novel tools provided by the project, including a knowledge hub, a SciShop navigator, twinning and matchmaking platform, seek to provide guidelines for different types of organisations on how to establish and run a Science Shop. SciShops aims at building on and expanding the capacity of the Science Shops ecosystem in Europe and beyond. As part of the SciShops project, at least ten new university and non-university-based Science Shops will be established in Europe by project partners. The non-university Science Shops are affiliated to different types of organisations, such as small and medium enterprises, large enterprises, non-governmental and non-profit organisations and research institutes. The SciShop team aims to demonstrate the benefits of starting a Science Shop for various kind of organisation, as well as to show how civil society gains from collaborating with Science Shop in community-based participatory research. |

Nome del sito: Science Education and Civic Engagement: An International Journal – SECEIJ URL: http://new.seceij.net/ Tipologia ente: Rivista Contesto geografico: Extra-EU Topic livello 1: educazione responsabilità (engagement) Topic livello 2: science education civic engagement Lingua: inglese Abstract: The mission of this journal is to explore constructive connections between science education and civic engagement that will enhance both experiences for students. In the 21st century, mathematical and scientific reasoning is an essential element for full participation in a democratic society. Contributions to this journal will focus on using unsolved, complex civic issues as a framework to develop students’ understanding of the role of scientific knowledge in personal and public decision-making, along with examining how such knowledge is embedded in a broader social and political context. Since many pressing issues are not constrained by national borders, the journal encourages perspectives that are international or global in scope. In addition to examining what students learn, it will also explore how this learning takes place and how it can be evaluated, documented, and strengthened. By exploring civic questions as unsolved challenges, the journal seeks to empower students as engaged participants in their learning on campus and as citizens in their communities. |

Nome del sito: ReTHINK URL: https://www.rethinkscicomm.eu/ Contesto geografico: EU Topic livello 1: comunicazione responsabilità (engagement) Topic livello 2: science communication civic engagement Lingua: inglese Abstract: The RETHINK project aspires to rethink science communication, both its theory and practice, to accommodate the major challenges to the individual and collective process of making sense about science. A guiding principle of RETHINK is that the contextual knowledge of citizens across the EU should play a vital role in shaping future scientific and technological developments and the sharing of this knowledge should be facilitated. The overall objective of RETHINK is to contribute to making the European science communication ecosystem more open, inclusive, reflexive and adaptive. The project’s aim is to improve the quality of interactions between science and society by providing concrete recommendations and training resources for nurturing open and reflexive science-society interfaces. The RETHINK project brings together six partners as well as four linked third parties from ten European countries, integrating scholarly and practical expertise, experimentation and good practices of new approaches in communication science. It brings together organisations ranging from academia to science centres, from media to technology assessment and a Europe Sounding Board that league very different backgrounds and areas of expertise. RETHINK has established seven hubs, called Rethinkerspaces, which will generate a thorough and widespread overview of the national science communication landscape and act as testbeds and validation mechanism. Such Rethinkerspaces have been established in universities and science engagement organisations from seven European countries that together present a wide range of the European science communication landscape. |
