Training Sessions
This second edition of the “ISC2 BiblioLab” project focuses on the creation of local communities rooted in libraries that are able to discuss and participate in decision-making processes related to local challenges that directly affect them. Thus, it aims at maintaining the active role of libraries as vehicles of social change and as spaces where communities can be created to lead participatory research processes open to all citizens. These communities will be created in the libraries Vapor Badia (Sabadell), Miquel Batllori (Sant Cugat) and the Central Library in Cerdanyola and will face the challenge of air quality.
To this end, a series of workshops have been organized for both library staff and citizens. The first sessions are aimed at training librarians in creating and leading citizen science communities, as well as in scientific aspects related to air pollution. Afterwards, citizen science communities will be created and trained to actively design, study and solve the challenge.
