SWITCH Training workshop: 'Advancing Learning Alliances to increase research impact'

26-29 November 2008 | IRC
Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais , Brazil

Description: The aim of the workshop is to advance and consolidate the establishment of learning alliances in SWITCH and other similar projects and programmes through the sharing of experiences and lessons learned. Specific issues will be addressed that are known to be important (and perhaps problematic), such as social inclusion in learning alliance processes and high quality documentation of the impacts of learning alliance activities. Given the location of the workshop in Latin America, there will be particular emphasis on experiences from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking SWITCH cities (Belo Horizonte, Lima, Zaragoza and Cali) and some of the workgroups will therefore be conducted in Spanish.

Target group: The workshop is aimed at both SWITCH and external participants. SWITCH participants will include city learning alliance facilitators and other participants interested in aspects of making learning alliance approaches work, such as city coordinators, researchers, programme managers in the cities and members of the management team. Other participants involved in research and development projects and programmes that follow learning alliance or similar multi-stakeholder approaches from Latin America and elsewhere are also warmly invited.

Language: English
