In this, the second episode of our 'Really listening to those who are seldom heard' mini-series, we're speaking today with two fantastic guests from the Netherlands. Dr. Özlem Safranti-Bozkurt is a Policy Advisor at the City of Dordrecht in the Netherlands and a Citizen Science expert and Dana van der Zee is a Digital Innovation Consultant at Bax & Company. 

They give their insights into how Citizen Science can actually work on the ground to improve lives, with real concrete examples of how the power of people and citizen engagement can change the way people use parks, think about their cities and even think about global challenges.
