Training Workshop
This interactive workshop introduces participants to the process of turning real-world community soil health problems into clear, researchable questions. Through the use of a case study and facilitated dialogue between participants, we explore simple principles of partnership working and collaborative enquiry. By the end, participants will have practised shaping a community issue into a focused research question they can apply in their own teaching or projects. The session ends with a short collective summary to capture key insights and next steps.
Learning objectives:
- Identify what you already know and what you want to learn about creating research questions from community problems.
- Recognize basic principles of working well with community partners.
- Explain the difference between a broad problem and a focused research question. • Practice turning a community-identified soil-health issue (or crowd-mapped issue) into a researchable question.
- Reflect on how this approach could fit into your own teaching or context.
