[1/6] 🤚🏽Heads up, Twitter community!✋🏽
Calling all folk who have been asked to be an evidence-giver (e.g. speaker, expert, etc) in a mini-public, like a Citizens’ Jury, Citizens’ Assembly and so on. 🎺We want to hear from you. 🎺

[2/6] ❓Why did you *decline* the invitation? Was it workload? The timing of the event? A bit of imposter syndrome? Hatred of public speaking? Unfamiliarity of the role?

[3/6]❓ Why did you *accept* the invitation? How did you find the experience? Would you be an evidence-giver again? What might have made it easier for you, as an evidence-giver?

[4/6] We ask because we want to explore challenges to #gender #diversity amongst evidence-givers in mini-publics, particularly those around topics relating to our environment (energy, climate change, sustainability etc).

🙂 please join in the conversation.🙂

[5/6] You can join the conversation via this Twitter thread, via direct message, or - best of all - you can *complete this short survey*: forms.gle/WpthNZuA8F2S8d…

[6/6] And please share amongst your network and colleagues.
🙏🏽Thanks a million.🙏🏽

Onwards!

We are also interested to hear perspectives from the *organisers* of mini-publics and similar participatory processes. Your insights would be really valuable.

You can complete the same survey, just follow the relevant questions: forms.gle/WpthNZuA8F2S8d…

We know that recruiting evidence-providers can be challenging (we've been there! @RagneLow @OliverEscobar), also c.f. our @ClimateXChange_ policy brief on the matter! climatexchange.org.uk/research/proje…

@Bankfieldbecky @PNBryant @SaraMORIScot @DMReinerCamb @CarolynHendriks, please join in and spread the word.
