This year’s event celebrates the power of collaboration, connection and inclusivity by exploring how community engagement and participatory research can positively transform antagonism, social differences and intra/inter-community tensions.
A focus on praxis further acknowledges the range of relational, emotional, ethics and practical work required to deliver the promises of community engaged/participatory research. It poses questions on the knowledge and skills needed to promote genuine co-production which is now championed widely in policy making and professional service development. The day features a keynote and two rounds of parallel workshops, offering practical insights into topics such as neuroinclusive PAR, pluralism in participatory research, working with communities, peer research and mobility, and engaging with community groups to encourage dialogue and co-learning. Enjoy a networking lunch and informal discussions throughout the day. We conclude with a closing plenary to reflect on key takeaways and identify next steps for creating inclusive and connective spaces in socially and politically divided times.
Fees: People in employment from outside Durham University: £50.00; Students and people on low incomes: £25.00; Unwaged members of the community organisations: free: Members of staff of Durham University (places limited): free.
The workshop will be held at Old Business School, Mill Hill Lane, Durham University, led by Sui-Ting Kong, Alison Jobe, Gina Porter and Steve Crossley organised by CSJCA, UKPRN and Research Innovation Services (Durham University).
