Event description

Putting Global Collaboration at the Heart of Action Research

In the current world environment, there is an even greater need for national and international collaboration to solve today’s challenges. To lead by example, ALARA is collaborating with AUT* in New Zealand, UTS** in Australia and Medici di Makati College in Philippines to present this World Congress***.

This leg will be available live in Manila, and online for those who are not able to get to Manila. The New Zealand leg will be in Auckland on 18 and 19 September and the Australian leg on 23 and 24 September.

At ALARA World Congresses, there is an emphasis on interactive conversations and workshops, where presenters/facilitators and participants engage together often producing new ideas arising from the work participants have been doing. These conversations help the learning of both presenters and participants.

The Organising Committee invite those working in Action Learning and Action Research to submit proposals about their work: locally, nationally and internationally. The specific aim at this World Congress, will be to focus on collaborative action. Participants will be encouraged to use the insights co-generated to develop initiatives that help address one or more agreed challenges (global, national, local). These initiatives will help reinforce the learning from the World Congress, and generate collaborative learning, training, research and action to create global change.

Please see the World Congress web pages for more information.
