The Action Research Summer Camp 2021
A rich environment for active learning
Our practical methods and pedagogy
We will use a broad range of activating methods pedagogical means to transcend traditional didactics. These experiences will form a rich learning environment for developing life-long relationships and new ideas.
Walking conversations and reflections in an alpine environment.- Sharing everyday life with the community participants at the “Waldhüttl” project (cooking, making music, sitting at the camp fire etc.).
- Journaling (research and reflection diaries).
- Alternative walking tours through Innsbruck, together with activists and people from marginalized communities.
- Solidarity exercises and activities (group building, singing etc.).
- Introduction to tools of community based research (e.g. interview techniques, photo-voicing, creative arts).
- Introduction in the history and practice of community-based research.
- One-on-one and workshop development for individual work plans.
Our interaction with community partners
Camp participants will frequently interact with people in place – e.g. Roma living there temporarily and supporters from town who frequent the place – both who have helped bring about new forms of social support in cooperation with a number of societal actors and individuals.
The Camp will use English as the main language for communication, but many other languages will be spoken on site.
