Step into the Shoes of Stakeholders training guide and materials

Step into the Shoes of Stakeholders is a role-playing exercise for professional audiences that encourages participants to consider how they and others would prioritize public engagement efforts on emerging neuroscience research & technology topics. Participants vote on topics using sticker dots as themselves before taking on the role of one of eight stakeholders with different life situations, identities, and needs. The session ends with an open discussion on the group's views on new technologies and how they might differ from those of other stakeholders with diverse perspectives.
