We are happy to announce new dates for our 5-day 'Introduction to
Participatory Appraisal' training courses. These can be found by clicking
the following link:
http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/peanut
followed by the 'training in participatory appraisal' and 'five day pa
courses' options. Please note there are now limited places remaining on the
April 2004 course.
On the PEANuT pages you can also find out about:
* 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).
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!
