Working through Co-production with Community Groups

This workshop will look at the logistical, ethical and practical issues arising from co-production work with both pre-existing community groups and communities of interest in the humanities sector, with a focus on heritage/digital technology. By the end of this workshop, participants will: • Understand issues of participant information, consent and ethics. • Gain an insight into how to practically organise community work, including co-production and focus group/evaluation activities. • Have a deeper understanding of issues arising from community politics and how groups understand and engage with perceived ‘experts’ This workshop will be of particular interest to Doctoral researchers in all disciplines of the arts and humanities who envisage working with community groups, particularly collaborative or co-production work.
