Good practice in community research

category national | arts and media | event notice author Thursday December 11, 2003 15:18author by Laurence Cox - community-research group Report this post to the editors

Researching from, for and with communities

Discussion seminar organised by the community-research group.

Wednesday, Dec. 17th, 9.30 - 5 pm
National University of Ireland, Maynooth
Admission free

The community-research group is an informal group of researchers working in academic, community and voluntary settings. We share an interest in research "from, for and with communities": research driven by the self-identified needs of particular communities, research carried out by or in conjunction with community organisations, and research carried out in participatory rather than top-down ways.

We initially planned this seminar as a way of clarifying for ourselves what we feel to be best practice in community research and as part of our own interest in perhaps developing an appropriate organisational form to sustain our own work in this field. The level of response so far (over 3 dozen requests for information) has been so high and includes so much experience in this field that we have decided to reorganise the programme in order to enable as broad an exchange of experiences and ideas as possible between participants.
The seminar is free, with tea and coffee provided. We have two possible locations for lunch, but unfortunately we can't cover food costs.
