Description:
This course on creative and inclusive workshop designs will give you practical tips and tools for designing and delivering workshops for a range of stakeholders, participants and communities. Why focus on workshops? As we move into a place of embedding equitable, trauma informed and inclusive research practice, we need to look for better ways to reduce power imbalances, empowering more people to be involved in research, including research and project design. This often means stepping away from traditional models of research, and being open to more safe, creative and collaborative methods for engaging and interacting with people. Workshops foster inclusive practice by creating accessible, engaging spaces where diverse voices are heard and valued. However, they need to be designed well.
This one day practical focused course will:
- Increase your awareness and understanding on how workshop designs can support empowerment, inclusive practice and trauma informed practice - and why these approaches matter.
- Provide you with tangible approaches and tools for designing inclusive and engaging workshops, in a trauma informed way. This includes approaches for co-design, co-production, creative methods and group decision making.
- Give you ideas and confidence in creating your own innovative approaches for research, research and co-design workshops.
