Session

Approaching research from different perspectives and experiences partners need to work together to find common ground. Conscious inclusion in practitioner – research partnerships energises productive collaboration in research.

In this workshop we will explore how we can concretely come together to catalyse inclusive collaboration in research, valuing each other as individuals and co-creating novel research through an open system where we can acknowledge each other in a common space, a ‘belonging area’.  We will share a useful model for researcher/practitioner inclusive collaboration. The model could be applied in any kind of relation and interaction (e.g. teams, groups, companies, peer communities). The model refers to the EMCC Global EMPOWER model from the declaration for diversity and inclusion https://www.emccglobal.org/quality/diversity/.  Participants will have the experience of developing an inclusive common space as partners in research.  Moreover you will get several questions to use based on the EMPOWER.

The workshop could be the starting point for common research projects involving both researchers and practitioners on inclusion.
