Our Citizen Scientists


The Citizen Scientists Working Group empowers individuals to act as ambassadors of Studio Madane in their own towns and villages, bringing the organization’s progressive agenda to life in smaller and less accessible communities. These members play a pivotal role in decentralizing efforts, activating local engagement, and planting the seeds of sustainable change at the grassroots level. As the face of Studio Madane in their regions, they embody the organization’s vision by establishing strong networks, documenting local histories, and building alliances that reflect diverse realities. Through their efforts, they bridge gaps between communities and the organization, ensuring that meaningful change reaches every corner.

What is the Group’s Philosophy?

The Citizen Scientists Working Group offers a unique opportunity to bridge fragmented narratives and create a unified platform for regional advocacy. In today’s world, where local knowledge and grassroots activism are pivotal for meaningful change and long-term transformation, this group empowers participants to be the driving force behind decentralization and community-driven development. By joining, you become a steward of an eclectic social fabric, ensuring that the voices of every district are heard and their potential realized. This participatory and collaborative approach to collective resilience makes the Citizen Scientists Working Group a cornerstone in creating a just and inclusive future.  As representatives of Studio Madane in their communities, our members embody a diverse microcosm of wider society.

Who Should Join?

This group is ideal for individuals aged 16 and above who are deeply connected to localities, whether as residents or through strong networks. Enthusiasts of local research, history, community engagement, and communication with municipalities, centers, and NGOs, will find this group particularly fulfilling. Participants are those who see the value in pulling knowledge from the community, documenting protocols, and amplifying local voices to build a decentralized future.

What Can You Expect?

Through result-oriented sessions, including live and online workshops, field surveys, and mobilizations, participants will create archives, research reports, mappings, stakeholder engagement, and social contracts for the districts they represent. The work focuses on filling knowledge gaps across economic, historical, and social dimensions, while fostering community dialogue and collaboration.
