One of the ways to support the creation of new Science Shops is to provide training for the staff of future or newly established Science Shops. This deliverable aims to assist in this task by providing training modules for Science Shop staff. The modules present materials and pedagogy on the most essential topics needed to understand how to establish and run a Science Shop: Basics of Science Shops, Operational models, CBPR project management, Stakeholder involvement, Communication and public awareness, Project evaluation and impact assessment. The intended users of the modules are trainers who provide training for Science Shop staff. The main target audience for the training are people who are new to Science Shops and CBPR, and who are interested in the idea of the Science Shop and thinking about establishing one. The modules could also be useful for people who already work at an existing Science Shop, to broaden their approach and provide them with new ideas, particularly in more specialised topics. The modules rest on knowledge about running Science Shops, best practices, and challenges accumulated in previous deliverables of the SciShops project, as well as literature and other sources of information about various aspects of Science Shops. The modules also draw inspiration from insights and exercises from training courses and other events run by the Living Knowledge network and SPARKS project, as well as the first summer school of the SciShops project itself. The description of each individual module consists of several parts: a statement of the module’s objectives, an overview of the session outline, a description of methodologies, and a list of additional resources. The sessions themselves are designed to provide a balance between the presentation of information and interaction and self-reflection. Each session consists of an introduction, initial evaluation of participants’ knowledge on the topic and/or an ice-breaking activity, presentation, and interactive exercises that enable and encourage participants to approach the aspect of the Science Shop being explored in a practical way. The modules include prepared PowerPoint presentations for each session. The modules can be used separately depending on the needs of participants, or they can be combined into an extensive training programme as a summer school or held as a series of trainings. In addition, separate modules can be modified by a trainer and be adapted to the needs and prior knowledge of the audience, specific training programme, as well as the experience and approaches of the trainer him/herself. © 2018 SciShops.eu | Horizon 2020 – SwafS-01-2016 | 741657 D4.3 Modules for training Science Shops‘ staff 5 Acronyms BA Bachelor of Arts BSc Bachelor of Science CBPR Community-Based Participatory Research CBR Community Based Research CESI Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (University of Guelph, Canada) CSO Civil Society Organisation ESSRG Environmental Social Science Research Group (Hungary) EUC European University Cyprus (Cyprus) FBI Institut für gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Forschung, Bildung & Information (Germany) IT Information Technology LE Large Enterprises MA Master of Arts MSc Master of Science NGO Non-Governmental Organisation NPO Non-Profit Organisation PERARES (project) Public Engagement with Research and Research Engagement with Society PR Public Relations RRI Responsible Research and Innovation SII The Institute of Social Innovations (Lithuania) SME Small and Medium Enterprises UOC Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Spain) UTS University of Technology Sydney (Australia) WUR Wageningen University & Research (the Netherlands) © 2018 SciShops.eu | Horizon 2020 – SwafS-01-2016 | 741657 D4.3 Modules for training Science Shops‘ staff 6 Table of Content 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................................... 8 1.1.
