¡Hola* Visitor,
A FREE TO USE VIDEO CLIP EXPLORE CITIZEN SCIENCE
During the iDiv Summer School 2019 "Citizen Science – Innovation in Open Science, Society, and Policy" in Leipzig, Germany, we co-created the concept for a free Citizen Science video, which you everyone download and use freely called "Explore Citizen Science".
A FREE CITIZEN SCIENCE VIDEO FOR EVERYONE
Together with the participants and the mentors, we formed the idea to produce something, which has not just a short-lived purpose. We filmed and produced a video clip, that can help Citizen Science platforms and projects to promote their work and spark interest in Citizen Science. Released as Creative Commons, everyone can use the video for free.
To further increase the flexibility of use, we produced three additional clips as short episodes. These bonus clips can serve as video ads for Citizen Science and be included in playlists at conferences or as pre-rolls in other CitSci videos. The videos' goal is to get people who not have yet joined a Citizen Science project curious to discover Citizen Science and start exploring their world.

You can download the original video as *.mp4 file on our Citizen Science blog and use it freely, as long as you include the correct citation of authorship. You can even upload the video to your own YouTube channel or distribute the video on your social media accounts if you cite it correctly:
IMPRESSIONS FROM LEIPZIG
We had a wonderful time in Leipzig and all the moments, which made the Summer School and this video production so special, still live on in mind and heart. On our blog, you can take a look at some of the trices and whiles from the Rosental (rose valley) park area:

CITIZEN SCIENCE WHATSAPP GROUP
Inspired by the iDiv Summer School 2019, we have created a new public WhatsApp group to serve as a direct communication channel for all members, stakeholders, and academics in Citizen Science. With the invite link, you can join the new group on your smartphone. It is an experiment at this level; let's see if the new group can kick-off. Of course, if you have any questions about the SPOTTERON apps, you can ask them in the group as well. The communication language will be English.
