Monday
Keynote by Prof. Dr. Nivedita Prasad
Prof. Nivedita Prasad, is Professor of Action Methods and Gender-Specific Social Work at Alice Salomon University in Berlin, where she heads the MA programme in Social Work as a Human Rights Profession, among other roles. Her research methodology is strongly oriented towards (feminist) participatory action research – a research method that tends to be neglected in Western Europe.
Project Marketplace
At the Project Marketplace, various local Citizen Science Projects will showcase their work and invite participants to engage in discussions around their project posters. It is about getting to know the challenges, failures, and open questions behind the projects — and learning from what didn’t work as much as from what did.
Tuesday
Parallel Workshop 1a: Working with or about a population group? Perspectives on Participatory Approaches using the Example of the Minga Methodology

by Pia Viviani, catta gmbh, founder and director
Wednesday
