FALLING WALLS LAB THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL Session B TRUST IN SCIENCE Lewis Hou The workshop session At this time where trust in science is being tested to its limits, how can we support and earn trust and trust-worthiness in our science engagement? How can we build long-term relationships and equitable partnerships with diverse communities to achieve this? This interactive session will introduce some of the key issues and research behind trust in science and share case-studies from the work of leading community science organisations. Through group discussions, provocations and personal reflections, you will leave this session with new ideas, practical strategies and the start of longer-term commitments to support better Trust- building community partnerships in your work.
