Idea

A (2,1)(2,1)-sheaf is a sheaf with values in groupoids. This is traditionally called a stack.

Definition

Let CC be a (2,1)-site. Write Grpd for the (2,1)-category of groupoids, functors and natural isomorphisms.

A (2,1)(2,1)-sheaf on CC is equivalently

The (2,1)(2,1)-category of (2,1)(2,1)-sheaves

The (2,1)-category of a (2,1)(2,1)-sheaves on a (2,1)-site forms a (2,1)-topos.

There are model category presentations of this (2,1)(2,1)-topos. See model structure for (2,1)-sheaves.
