Applying participatory methods for social change: A hands-on learning session

Info

Course Information

Four colour National Centre for Research Methods logo

This two-day in person course aims to provide participants with an opportunity to learn about and practice creative participatory methods that have been applied with people and communities to understand needs, set priorities and co-develop actions for social change.

The methods presented will include transect walks, photovoice, body mapping, stepping stones and others. Learners will hear how researchers and community partners globally have used these methods to co-create new knowledge together and the impact these have had. They will then be provided with tools to practice these methods within a group or individually, and to reflect on being a participant, facilitator, or observer/documenter. Participants will also be involved in a discussion about power and inclusion in participatory research.

This will be followed by hands-on experience of facilitating a co-analysis exercise, triangulating data across methods and developing themes.
