About the Programme
Through a 5 day, hands-on course, you will learn the principles and approaches of anthro-complexity, how these approaches compare to traditional methods, and when best to apply them. You will learn how to design your own research project, how to sample, engage stakeholders, train up interviewers, and explore ethical issues. And you will learn how to collect and analyse data, explore a new theory of change, and get the best out of community workshops.
The course includes access to a Community of Practice, where the guide’s co-authors and expert project leads will share their years of experience and pioneering case studies. There will be a chance to delve deeper into the topics discussed throughout the course, share inspiring thoughts and ideas, and raise challenges and questions with the team.
A complimentary copy of the book ‘The Learning Power of Listening: A Practical Guide for Using SenseMaker®’ released by Oxfam and Catholic Relief Services will be provided.
