[CAPE] Investigate potential of a short council climate action “course” for citizens

[zarino]

Suggested by @MyfanwyNixon in #434:

Can we offer any incentive for people who work through a kind of short online 'course' - which would be a mixture of videos, explainers and exercises that set them doing things like finding out their own council's plans in certain areas? At the end we could generate a certificate for them to download. I'm thinking about the GDPR training I did with Futurelearn, which did exactly this.

This is a kind of lightweight version of the incentive CE UK used to mobilise their volunteer markers of CAPs: you promise them upskilling in return for their time.

Is there inspiration we could take from the way Hope For The Future trains constituents to talk to their MPs? (Would they potentially work on this with us?)

Could part of this “training” include small data maintenance tasks? (See WDTK classification game for an example.) Potential tasks off the top of my head:

• Checking whether there are any new plans on the council’s website
• Checking whether a council has declared a climate emergency
• Describing / summarising a climate action plan or at least sanity-checking an auto-generated summary.

Potential overlap with the FOI “next step” in Contract Countdown.
