Organising a Schools-Based Consensus Conference
From the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), this resource gives background notes for potential organisers of consensus conferences in schools. Consensus conferences can contribute to public debate and decision-making by giving a voice to non-specialists in the area whose interests are primarily those of the concerned citizen. Conferences could be set up to increase the understanding of issues in science on a year-group, whole school or wider community basis. The materials look at: * Introduction - what are consensus conferences * Key factors to consider in planning a school-based consensus conference * Planning countdown for 1st school-based consensus conference * The benefits * The problems and criticisms * Timetable for public meeting * More information BBSRC is a part of Research Councils UK (RCUK).
