5. Activity: Experiencing a Phenomena
In groups, reflect on the following questions:
Whose voice is defining the ‘phenomena’? Is this researcher-led or citizen-led?
Could you classify a rose using a pre-defined taxonomy as part of a participatory process?
Would you describe this as a ‘holistic’ or ‘analytical’ approach?
What kind of data are we gathering?
How could the data be analysed?
What are the benefits of applying a participatory approach?
Is it something that can be explored in an ‘analytical’ or a ‘holistic way’?
