Participatory Research Methods for the VCSE sector in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay

⌚ 10am – 4pm
? University of Exeter – The Deck, Streatham Campus
Participatory Research Methods are designed to understand how people and communities feel about certain activities and what influences those activities have on day-to-day life. If designed well, such methods can provide learning around (very) local influences and the specific relationships that develop due to an activity or service.
? University of Exeter’s course on Participatory Research Methods will be co-ordinated by Shuks Esmene. Over the past 8 years, Shuks has worked with many VCSEs to co-design a variety of creative Participatory Research Methods that supported the evaluation of their activities.
(The course is commissioned by the Torbay Plymouth and Devon VCSE Assembly, through its Research Community of Practice, and funded by the NHS’s Research Engagement Network and is FREE to participants from across Devon)
