Learning from life : get together.
Abstract
This document reports on how a participatory approach was used at a meeting of various groups to start the Learning for Life Project; a partnership between ODEC and members of the West Indian Day Centre.
One of the participatory tools used of particular interest was the construction by both older and younger members of a timeline of their experiences of racism in Oxford which acted as a starting point to explore key issues and concerns. The report includes an action plan drawn up by the group as a result of the discussions and activities.

Download available
Abstract
This article describes how mapping of local peoples perceptions of child malnutrition was used to improve the quality of focus group discussions. Time was taken at the beginning of the study to understand all the words related to malnutrition and ensure that all members of the group had the same definition, since in the urban setting there was no one single language which all members shared.
