We can create or help support spaces for individuals to contribute to action research about defined topics or to help a group design a process to identify topics that matter to them, such as financial inequality, health support, community activities and how to move these agendas forward. By using methods including ‘deep democracy’ we can ensure that spaces are safe, accessible and inclusive, that all voices are heard. We use participatory techniques to encourage ownership and leadership such as discussions, mapping storytelling and art. We believe that enabling people to create their own content is core to change.
Facilitation & Training Case Studies
A Place for Me
Led by the Good Organisation, we facilitated a collaboration where hostel residents shaped their vision of a virtual hostel, what it should provide, feel and look like.
APLE Collective
As part of our work with APLE Collective, we facilitate workshops, using reflective practice and participatory methods to delve into issues around poverty.
Action Research at Carecent
We were lucky enough to work alongside Roger from Healthwatch to help run some participatory research sessions at Carecent - a breakfast centre for homeless, unemployed or otherwise socially excluded members of our community.
