This session is an introduction to Community Engagement (CE). It will cover the key principles of what community engagement with research is; why we should do it; how we identify communities to work with and how community engagement can be used as a method to impact health inequalities in research with different communities.
This is an online interactive workshop that aims to explore principles of Community Engagement in research practice and how to apply collaborative engagement methods within their own research context.
It will cover some practical techniques to develop collaborative community engagement activities. Come and hear cases studies from researchers and community partners on activities and projects that have brought the research world and local communities together to collaborate, open up conversations and share knowledge that improves healthcare research for all.
