Don't be perceived as something distant, but as one of the community. Civic centres, fairs, schools, etc., and (4) Reward (pamper) participants so that the degree of commitment to citizen science does not wane: constant information about the project, access to content or privileged events, gifts, certificates, raffles, gamification with reward systems...
