How do we bridge the knowledge / skills gap How do we measure accurate data and co- design intelligible, actionable, visualisations LACK OF PURPOSE How do we galvanise emergent communities around pressing issues SOCIAL INTERACTIONS How do we foster sustained community engagement WHAT ARE WE LOOKING TO TACKLE?
across Europe, we will be co- creating sensors & devices that use the Smart Citizen platform to capture environmental data. #MakingSenseEU making-sense.eu
testing tools and methodologies for making sense of data in pilots in Amsterdam, Barcelona & Prishtina, and raising awareness of social and environmental issues. #MakingSenseEU making-sense.eu
With the pilot learnings we will develop the Making Sense toolkit - a set of resources to organise citizen sensing campaigns for positive social change. #MakingSenseEU making-sense.eu
