In this exercise, we will guide you through the process of planning your engagement pathway. Each question addresses an important aspect of the engagement pathway, and assists you in making the necessary considerations to ensure effective engagement with your facilitators. 

Bullet point or write out the answer to each question with reference to your project or activity. This will help you to formulate your engagement pathway.

You are invited to download the picture containing a list of questions to keep as a reference for yourself.

A PDF style document titled "Checklist" with the same text as the bullet pointed questions below. The graphics are EU-Citizen.Science themed.
