Abstract

This guide was designed to support practitioners running Community and Citizen Science programmes and similar informal science learning activities. It shares the finding and recommendations of the LEARN CitSci research study, which explored the learning processes and outcomes for young people aged 5–19 years who participated in Community and Citizen Science projects.
