Young children are actors usually excluded from political decisions and also from many science communication projects. Participatory science communication models can help to connect their everyday life with both local policies and science-related content. Using visual methodologies for engagement, we aimed at understanding what preschool children prefer in the city landscape. Results show how young children envision a “better city” and how that construction might defy current scientific knowledge. It further illustrates how science communication can be used to co-produce new knowledge, contributing to the debate about people's needs and perceptions related to science-based options.

使用参与和协作策略将年幼的儿童纳入与科学相关的问题：城市生物多样性试点项目

幼儿通常被排除在政治决策之外，也被排除在许多科学传播项目之外。参与式科学传播模式有助于将他们的日常生活与当地政策和科学相关内容联系起来。使用视觉方法进行参与，我们旨在了解学龄前儿童在城市景观中更喜欢什么。结果显示了幼儿如何设想一个“更好的城市”，以及这种建设如何挑战当前的科学知识。它进一步说明了如何利用科学传播来共同产生新知识，从而促进有关人们对基于科学的选择的需求和看法的辩论。
