Contribution long abstract:
The author would like to contribute to the session by sharing insights from recent events where citizen science has been brought as a contributing element when it comes to human-nature intersection including learning. As for example, during the Cost Action (CA18201) ConservePlants organized workshop, namely, ''Experience sharing on BioBlitz and other forms of citizen science'' - the speakers as well as participants shared diverse opportunities as well as barriers for citizen science. Meanwhile - citizen science and other forms of public engagement were also discussed in the recent book launch, namely, ''Handbook Transdisciplinary Learning''.
