International audience ; This poster represents a continuation of two successful Knowledge Cafés conducted at IUCN World Parks Congress in Barcelona in 2008 and in Jeju in 2012 and a Poster in Sydney 2014. Its objective is to present our experience and promote discussion and sharing of experiences concerning innovative methodological and pedagogical approaches for protected areas management. Participatory methodologies for protected areas management represent one of the main challenges related to social inclusion and benefit sharing concerning biodiversity conservation strategies. However, there is still limited experience and critical reflexion, in terms of possible tools and methodological development and evaluation. Taking into consideration the need to promote biodiversity protection with social commitment, the development of social technology and new approaches in protected areas participatory management can be considered as key issues related to the Biological Diversity Convention principles and goals and to the new agreed Sustainable Development Goals.In this poster, the experience from an ongoing project, a serious game named SimParc (http://www-desir.lip6.fr/~briot/simparc) about participatory management of national parks in Brazil will be used as an example to share experiences and questions, to foster discussions and to strengthen networking with this objective.The overall objective of this poster presentation is, with the different partners, to discuss "pilot projects" and solutions to evaluate their potential for future use in building capacity for human resources training and policy decision making. The key questions to be answered will be: What can be considered as innovation in pedagogical methodological approaches for protected areas participatory management? What are the needs and challenges to be faced? To what extent computer games can be used as a management tool? How to strengthen participatory management based on serious games and new social technologies?We hope that thanks to the poster presentation and discussion, it will be possible to identify the main issues to be dealt with and to identify different partners for a future network concerning participatory methodological development and analysis for protected areas management. This event will be aligned with the need for engaging civil society and local empowerment in the discussion of public policies and for strengthening local action for biodiversity conservation.We plan to engage the World Commission of Protected Areas (WCPA/IUCN), different academic institutions, NGOs (such as CI, ISA, and others), representatives of public policies and of management committees of protected areas, national and local governmental agencies and international development agencies.

This feminist arts-based participatory research project with a group of homeless/street-involved women used group interviews and the creation of collective and individual artworks to explore their personal and political realities and share these with a larger audience. The project built trust and a sense of community, encouraged artistic skills development, and allowed to emerge an artistic identity to combat the stigma of the label 'homeless'. Individual and collective empowerment came from creating artworks collectively but also, the recognition the women received through publicly sharing their artworks. Tensions and challenges emerged around art as education versus therapy, individual and collective works, the role and place of men, and mental health and the police, two things ever present in the lives of these women.

Research in the natural sciences has tended to uncritically focus on providing technoscientific solutions to the problem of global food security, often in the form of genetically modified seeds. Yet the intended recipients of these seeds, often lower-caste women, have in some cases been vehement in their rejection of these solutions. Qualitative participatory approaches informed by feminist principles, as applied in this case study in Andhra Pradesh, India, can elucidate both the reasons for this rejection, and help to chart a more appropriate epistemological orientation for developing solutions based in community members' lives and needs. Such an approach can in turn give rise to new research questions and orientations to be taken up by technoscientific researchers wishing to approach collaborative solutions to global food security.

AbstractThis article offers new insights into the important role that transdisciplinary, participatory action research approaches offer young people as a safe space to 'act' on climate change and environmental degradation. Drawing upon methodological meta‐reflections on three separate, but interlinked, projects (two UK‐based, one in Vietnam), we highlight an evolving approach that fuses knowledge, local context and emotional connection to engage action. We argue that these innovative approaches facilitate the empowerment of young people to co‐create and lead solutions, adaptations and mitigations that can make a significant impact on the climate and biodiversity crises whilst influencing policymakers and inspiring collaborative change‐making.

CoAct (Co-designing Citizen Social Science for Collective Action) aims at co-designing concepts, methods and tools for citizen social science (CSS) around "wicked" global social issues. Four different research and innovation (R&I) actions organise the empirical work of CoAct. This report presents the rationale, purpose, structure and content of a video, which constitute the deliverable D5.2 of CoAct, showing the co-creation process to be used in the dissemination of a digital platform developed in the frame of CoAct WP5. This video is especially important to enhance engagement of co-researchers and to foster new collaborations in the platform's implementation phase. R&I Action #3 aims at co-designing CSS tools to facilitate actions contributing towards Environmental Justice in the Matanza-Riachuelo river basin, carried out by teams from UNSAM and FARN. The basin covers 64 km-long and 6 million people live there, most of them in vulnerable socio-environmental situations. In particular, we aim at co-designing a digital platform to produce and share data that can contribute to mapping different socio-environmental problems as understood by a diversity of stakeholders and promote concrete actions for addressing those problems. The production and dissemination of the video is part of UNSAM and FARN teams' strategy to promote and sustain participation of the different types of stakeholders in the forthcoming activities of the R&I Action #3. The video shows the collaborative efforts in designing R&I Action #3 goals and the co-design process of the digital platform. By showing ...

AbstractThis article explains how participatory approaches can promote civic engagement among young people, resulting from their active involvement in the research process, namely identifying their communities' priorities and problems. Five project‐building sessions were held with young people from five contexts located in the border regions of mainland Portugal. The data supporting this article were collected during sessions dedicated to identifying and exploring community‐based problems and priorities and designing projects to address those local challenges. The results show the importance of contextualising young people's experiences and priorities, here related to their own community and its well‐being and development. It is here that using participatory methodologies can create opportunities for young people to participate in processes of community change.

Agenda 21 is a project aimed to promote the local environmental sustainability with the support and suggestions provided by citizen engagement. It had a time of splendor during the decade of the 2000s and became a space with a vast potential in order to develop practices that can lead to increase democratic involvement through participatory co-production of public policies, in this case, regarding local planning from a view point environmental and sustainable. IAP, as a participatory methodology, is an epistemological proposal that fits perfectly with Agenda 21 implementation, from an approach that goes beyond a purely advisory, formal or instrumental involvement. However, in many of the Agendas 21 developed in our country, this kind of methodological, transforming and engaging proposals have not been used, and therefore, citizen participation was a complementary element to the technical and political work without becoming the bedrock of the process, in the articulating basis that gives meaning to everything else. This article is addressed to highlight the relevance of the citizen participation in the local planning of environmental sustainability since this is the very hearth of the Agenda 21 target and the relevance of IAP as the proposed methodology to achieve it, in view of the necessity of promoting the public participation and engagement to foster the ecological sustainability of the lands. The key issue raised is the kind of the strategies that may be enforced in order to put such attempt into practice. In the Agendas 21 where we have applied the IAP, is taking place a social construction of knowledge aimed to promote to social changes through the work with associations, neighborhood groups, technicians and institutional representatives with various interests and sensibilities, prioritizing the mobilization of citizen participation in order to encourage social creativity. The methodological features of this Agenda 21 are the specific traits of the IAP adaptations made during the process in its three stages (diagnosis, planning and execution) which are evident in the implemented technical elements. ; La Agenda 21 es un proyecto para promover la sostenibilidad ambiental local contando con la participación ciudadana. Tuvo su momento de gran esplendor en la década de 2000 y se convirtió en un espacio con un amplio potencial para desarrollar prácticas que apuntaran hacia una profundización democrática mediante la coproducción participativa de políticas públicas, en este caso en torno a la planificación local desde una óptica medioambiental y sostenible. La IAP, como metodología participativa, es una propuesta epistemológica que encaja perfectamente en la implementación de la Agenda 21 desde un planteamiento que vaya más allá de una participación meramente consultiva, formal o instrumental. Sin embargo, en muchas de las Agendas 21 desarrolladas en nuestro país no se ha recurrido a este tipo de propuestas metodológicas transformadoras e implicativas, y la participación ciudadana ha sido un elemento complementario a la labor técnica y política, sin convertirse en el eje del proceso, en la base articuladora que dote de sentido a todo lo demás. En este artículo se aborda la importancia de la participación ciudadana en la planificación de la sostenibilidad ambiental local, que constituye el objetivo de la Agenda 21, y la pertinencia de la IAP como metodología para lograrlo. Partiendo de la necesidad de promover la participación e implicación pública en el fomento de la sostenibilidad ecológica de los territorios, una cuestión clave que se plantea es el método para llevar a la práctica tal pretensión. En las Agendas 21 en las que hemos aplicado la IAP, se desarrolla un proceso de construcción social de conocimiento que apunta a la transformación mediante el trabajo con colectivos, asociaciones, grupos de vecinos, técnicos y representantes institucionales con sensibilidades o intereses diversos, primando la movilización hacia una implicación ciudadana que favorezca la creatividad social. Las características metodológicas de estas Agendas 21 son los rasgos propios de la adaptación de la IAP que se hizo durante el proceso en sus tres etapas (diagnóstico, planificación y ejecución) y que se evidencian en los elementos técnicos implementados.Agenda 21 is a project aimed to promote the local environmental sustainability with the support and suggestions provided by citizen engagement.

Las formas basadas en la colaboración y la participación de colectivos amplios y diversos, no necesariamente especializados, en procesos creativos, como es el caso del cine colaborativo, se han erigido en uno de los principales fuentes de experimentación formal, temática y metodológica en la producción cultural contemporánea. En este artículo nos proponemos explorar algunas de las principales características del cine colaborativo, partiendo de una discusión sobre la noción de participación basada en los estudios sobre democracia. A través de dos casos-ejemplo paradigmáticos identificaremos algunas discrepancias entre los discursos y la implementación de procesos reales de participación, así como diferencias y continuidades entre las metodologías de creación colaborativa cinematográfica en el campo de la ficción y la no-ficción

This book demonstrates how data from participatory visual methods can take people and communities beyond ideological engagement, initiating new conversations and changing perspectives, policy debates, and policy development. These methods include, for example, photo-voice, participatory video, drawing/mapping, and digital storytelling. Organised around a series of tools that have been used across health, education, environmental, and sociological research, Participatory Visual Methodologies illustrates how to maintain participant engagement in decision-making, navigate critical issues around ethics, track policies, and maximize the potential of longitudinal studies. Tools discussed include: . Pedagogical screenings . Digital dialogue devices . Upcycling and 'speaking back' interventions . Participant-led policy briefs An authoritative and accessible guide to how participatory visual methods and arts-based methods can influence social change, this book will help any postgraduate researcher looking to contribute to policy dialogue.
