Reconnecting Methods Training

The Reconnecting Methods Training provides Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with valuable insights into Participatory Action Research (PAR), situated design, and co-design methods, alongside skills in academic writing, communication, and community engagement. The training focuses on participatory design, PAR, and design anthropology/ethnography, with hands-on experience in relational design using translation objects in collaboration with non-academic partners.

DCs will engage in sessions on mutual and collective learning, co-design, and prototyping, followed by workshops using the Participation Studio methodology. The program emphasizes connecting academic research with socio-environmental contexts through scientific communication and community engagement. Additionally, DCs will explore topics such as academic writing, interdisciplinary alliances, research valorisation, and public science.
