Conversation Cafe: Collective Agency through Participatory Research

How can we make science something we do with people, rather than for people?

What if the next breakthrough in solving our world’s biggest challenges comes from someone who has never set foot in a research lab?

Join us for our next Conversation Café as we explore “Collective Agency through Participatory Research” with Jonathan, Director of Frameshifter.

Together, we’ll dive into questions such as:

– How can science better serve society and advance the Sustainable Development Goals?
– What is participatory science, and why is it transforming how research is conducted?
– How can organizations integrate participatory research and design into their programs?
– What opportunities exist for collaboration across the social sector?

Jonathan brings a unique perspective at the intersection of design, technology, community development, and scientific discovery. Through Frameshifter, he develops participatory science platforms and discovery games that empower people from all backgrounds to contribute to research, proving that valuable insights can come from anyone, anywhere.

This Conversation Café is an opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and imagine new ways of creating solutions with communities rather than simply for them.

Innovation becomes more powerful when participation becomes the norm.

We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your ideas!
