How do we shift power to create community-led research?

In session two, we will delve deep into the question of power dynamics in research partnerships and how we can enable truly community-led research.

London Borough of Newham and Compost CIC will share their latest work scoping a community-led research network with marginalised communities. A range of researchers and practitioners will also share how they drive community-led research.

We will collaboratively explore tough issues through interactive workshops such as:

• Working with under-represented and seldom heard communities
• Developing inclusive, culturally rooted research methods and practice
• Promoting equity in community research partnerships
• Transitioning to community-led research priorities and agendas
• Leveraging community insights to drive policy change

Who is this for?

This session is ideal for policymakers, researchers, and community practitioners with some experience in community, peer or participatory research and who want to engage in practical exercises and discussions.

By the end of the workshop, you will have a deeper understanding of the issues around community research and the know-how to carry it out it out in inclusive and impactful ways. Participants will also receive workshop outputs and tools to apply to their context.
