All
Apologies for potential cross postings (but please forward on to anyone you
think may be interested...)
This is a quick note to say that Northumbria University's PEANuT
(Participatory Evaluation and Appraisal in Newcastle upon Tyne) project
web-pages are now 'live', and can be accessed via the following link:
www.northumbria.ac.uk/peanut
On these pages you will find details of the following:
* what (and whom) PEANuT is!;
* participatory appraisal (PA);
* our PA practitioner support role;
* our PA training provision; and
* our PA-based research and consultancy work.
Within the last of these sections there is a focus on the use of
participatory appraisal within 'research' projects (emphasising PA's three
pronged approach of 'research', education' and 'collective action'). This
is exemplified through links to two projects that PEANuT has been involved
in, or taken a lead role in delivering:
* the 'Advancing Financial Inclusion in Newcastle upon Tyne' project,
which has since spawned the development of Financial Inclusion Newcastle Ltd
through the receipt of funding of around £1,000,000 since the end of the
main research period; and
* the 'Exploring solutions to 'graffiti' in Newcastle upon Tyne'
project, where collective action is ongoing (with PEANuT currently working
with a number of local writers and officials in collectively exploring
actionable solutions to 'graffiti' in the city, and with a paper being drawn
up for submission to Newcastle City Councils' Cabinet to propose the
development of a legal site policy in the city).
Both of these sub-sections have pdf 'executive summaries' of the final
reports available for download, alongside details of how to obtain the
respective project reports.
We hope you find the site useful (and/or interesting) - if you have any
comments/feedback/questions/queries/money, please get in touch!
