These network events will be an opportunity for you and your project to share approaches to qualitative data collection and analysis. 

Qualitative data collection methods such as focus groups or one-to-one interviews can often provide a greater understanding of real issues than quantitative methods such as surveys or questionnaires.

These regional participation networks are suitable for anyone working in the field of participation and citizen engagement.

Attendees come from a range of different organisations in the public and third sector that focus on a variety of issues. The events are suitable for anyone from any level within an organisation that has an interest in practical participatory work, including consultation officers, trustees, volunteers, development workers and managers.

These practitioner networks are lively, participatory workshops which provide an opportunity for peers to engage, share and support each other.
They provide an invaluable opportunity to:

• Meet other practitioners in your area
• Share good practice
• Share ideas
• Problem solve
• Develop participatory skills
• Acquire new skills

If there is no existing network in your area we can support you to set one up.
