December 4 10.30-3.30pm - Collaboration: Our Collective Challenge Session
January 17 & 18 2024 (times tbd) at Millfields Trust Genesis Building - Community Researcher Training
Our Belong in Plymouth Community Researchers have done an amazing job collecting over 100 conversations. The training that was originally delivered by Martyn and Stephane of SkySpace has been updated to include even more emphasis on key listening skills. The next round of training will be on 17th and 18th January 2024, and we are very excited to announce that OG community researchers Sandra Radovanovic and Slain McGough Davey will be delivering this new, updated content.
Please note that if you have already trained as a community researcher, enrolling on this updated training is a prerequisite to gathering more conversations. We plan to collect at least 100 more! The upcoming training is also open to new people who would like to collect community conversations. These conversations will be with people you know, to hear about their experience of social isolation and/or belonging in Plymouth.
Please email Rebecca Muncey (rebecca@plymouthoctopus.org) to express your interest. There is a short application process to apply for the role. You will be paid £40 per conversation.
Finally, if you can't make these dates, but are still keen, we have another round of training scheduled for February. Dates TBC.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks so much for your interest.
