In dieser Reihe teilen Tagungsteilnehmende ihre persönlichen Eindrücke vom Forum Citizen Science 2023 in Freiburg. Im zweiten Beitrag berichtet Rahaf Farag, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Programmbereich Dokumentationszentrum der deutschen Sprache am IDS Mannheim, von spannenden Diskussionsrunden, projektübergreifenden Gemeinsamkeiten und der Vielfalt der Projektausrichtungen.
“Die Sprach-Checker” (Eng. “Language Checkers”) are young citizen scientists from Mannheim’s highly diverse district Neckarstadt-West. Together with linguists, they investigate a tremendous treasure: their own multilingualism. They are exploring and (re)discovering their own languages and the other languages used in their environment while documenting and reflecting on their everyday experiences in and with different linguistic practices. Our aim is to raise awareness of their strengths and to promote appreciation for their language biographies, thus fostering a sense of identification with one’s own linguistic surroundings. Such a joint research endeavour offers empirical opportunities to address (linguistic) issues of societal relevance by collecting authentic data from the multicultural district and involving its residents and local stakeholders. In this paper, we will provide insights regarding the project’s background, conception, and outcomes. We address everyone who is planning or conducting a citizen science project with young people, especially children and adolescents, or who works at the interface between science and society.
