Birding activities, in particular bird counting and bird ringing, have some of the longest citizen science traditions in the world. They hold great potential for developing environmental citizenship which encompasses the rights and responsibilities that individuals and collective society have toward nature. We aim to change the context in which existing collection happens in order to build more aware environmental citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Partners-map.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18849\" src=\"https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Partners-map.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Partners-map.png 768w, https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Partners-map-293x300.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>About the Project<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">While many projects have stressed the scientific quality of citizen science activities, there has been less inquiry into the \u2018citizen\u2019 part of the phrase \u2018citizen science\u2019. EnviroCitizen proposes that the social capacity potential of citizen science extends to the very roots of what it means to be a citizen of the planet. We want to understand the ways in which citizen science involvement has been and could be in the future used to cultivate environmental citizenship, which encompasses new ways of thinking and acting in all aspects of life to promote environmental sustainability. The EnviroCitizen project brings together seven partners in Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Netherlands, Romania,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Spain, and Cyprus to uncover the processes by which citizen scientists working in environmental-based activities can strengthen their environmental citizenship. We have selected to study birding activities because they hold great potential for developing environmental citizenship. We will:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">assess the evolution of citizen involvement in citizen science birding activities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">evaluate how citizens learn about and enact environmental citizenship through their citizen science birding activities; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">develop innovative community interventions designed to complement existing citizen science birding programs in order to cultivate environmental citizenship in the future.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We will create new knowledge and community interventions in six different languages and cultures across Europe through an ambitious multi-language school-based educational program and public engagement events to both increase participation in existing bird counting activities and raise environmental citizenship as a deliberate outcome of involvement in these activities.
