Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a way to invite local communities to learn about their own needs and aspirations. Youth workers and local youth supporters can use it to involve young people and other stakeholders in reflection, collaboration, and social change processes.

It will include interactive activities, a presentation by an expert and practitioner of PAR, small group reflections, and plenary discussions.

In this Webinar, you will:

• learn about PAR, its principles, and primary objectives;
• hear about concrete examples of how it has been applied in different contexts;
• have a clear overview of the PAR process step by step;
• discuss with peers how you would use it in your local community;
• reflect on engaging and maintaining commitment from all stakeholders in participatory and collaborative processes;
• have access to resources and support materials about the methodology;
• and more!

Apply by the 24th of April here.
