Two community workshops held in May 2024 in Birmingham.

Participants received a stack of paper ‘cards’ showing the different narratives identified from news articles (smart meter, electric vehicle only).

Participants were asked to position the cards on the flipchart ‘maps’ considering:

• how familiar they are with the narrative and
• to what extent the narrative influences their own views on the technology.
