`Overview´, ‘Consensus conference’, ‘Scenario workshops’,
‘Citizen juries’, ‘Future search’, Focus groups’ and
‘Interactive Technology Assessment’.

The training workshops of the CIPAST consortium are instrumental tools to achieve this objective. They aim at gathering practitioners and users of participatory methods & procedures around training activities. Two training workshops will be organised:
· Dresden Training Workshop, June 2006
· Naples Training Workshop, June 2007
These workshops will present the state of the art knowledge on public participation in science and technology and will refer to concrete experiences in European countries. Training activities will include general lectures but also special sessions, using participatory exercises. They are presented below.

Poster

Poster session
In Dresden the participants had the possibility to discuss the various methodologies in this poster session. The methodologies exposed in the poster included an `Overview´and posters on ‘Consensus conference’, ‘Scenario workshops’, ‘Citizen juries’, ‘Future search’, ‘Interactive Technology Assessment’, and ‘Focus groups’.

Surgery
The expression “surgery” was used to design “consulting rooms” where participants had the possibility to interact more closely with CIPAST experts. The themes of the surgery were defined in the first session of the Training Workshop (Introduction to Citizens participation) using a brainstorming method called Metaplan.

Case studies
The three case studies presented in this workshop gave participants the opportunity to discuss the key problems and stakes associated with the design, implementation and use of participatory exercises:
- UK Nanojury, a citizen’s jury on nanotechnology
- French interactive assessment of GM Vine Research
- Danish local scenario workshops on “Ocean Rise”
