Action research lies at the very centre of human life. . Action research is a family of approaches through which we can work to develop democratic dialogue in the service of mutual understanding and more informed action. It is an approach to living based on experience and engagement, on love and respect for the integrity of oneself and others. It depends on our willingness to rise above presupposition, to look, and to look again, to try out different behaviours, to risk security in the search for understanding and appropriate forms of action. All this in the service of opening possibilities for creative living.A

A one-year, part time Action Research programme. Through practical examples, theory and creative processes, participants will have the opportunity to explore ideas in a dynamic learning environment. The part time structure enables participants to experiment with, reflect on, and document their learning in between sessions, and to integrate the work into their professional and personal practice. There is support and feedback from the certificate tutors and peers during the intervals.
