Monday, December 16 th 1:30m-2:30pm Taisha Bonilla Training and Communications Coordinator [email protected]Presenters
Healthy City's Community Research Lab (CRL) shares best practices and methods for community-based organizations interested in supporting their strategies with research that combines community knowledge + Healthy City technology. The CRL is a resource for collaborating, networking, learning, and innovating with community-based organizations to lead and sustain research for social change. Using the Community Based Participatory Action Research framework, we partner with organizations to develop, implement, and disseminate community research projects, tools, and workshops.
Earlier this year, we received a two-year grant to provide our CRL Workshop series throughout California! In these workshops, we provide step-by-step guidance on topics that cover: • how to develop research questions • how to create effective community maps • how to facilitate participatory mapping • how to share maps and data with local community members The workshops also include: • facilitated activities training participants how to collect community feedback for advocacy, organizing and other projects • sessions on how to develop strategies where community members can give input to telling their community’s story. We are currently preparing to launch the first round of the workshop series in: Sacramento, Central Valley, and the Inland Empire!
