Systems and ethics of participation
13th May, 20th May and 27th May Online
13:00-14:45 GMT
In this three-part series, we’ll work through the systems, theory and practice of participation. We’ll explore what participation means, how it feels for people who participate in projects, where power sits in systems, and then turn to look at the ethics and tensions of participation in our work. We’ll think about the tools that we can use to undertake ethical participation, including reflections on when it is and is not appropriate.
We have five free spaces reserved for those from Global Majority countries and those working in grassroots/ community organisations.
Outcomes:
By attending these sessions, you’ll develop
Connections and learning from people working with participation across the globe
A deeper understanding of the ethics of participation, moving from tokenism to transformation
Practical knowledge of the different tools that can be used to support participation
