ST1 training Africa (Nairobi)

Participatory research consists of real scientific research projects carried out by citizens. During this training course, we will therefore lead the entrepreneurs, governments and NGOs in attendance to harness the benefits of using participatory science to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The training course will feature several workshops demonstrating how participatory research can both support the implementation of solutions and create new ones, in the service of the SDGs. It will illustrate the fact that participatory research has the effect of a powerful bottom-up learning process, as it enables training and education through practice, while building everyone's capacities and being a means of involving citizens and the various stakeholders: during this training we will show how to design a Participatory Science project that contributes both to a path towards empowerment for all players and to a reduction in the time needed to generate solutions. In addition to creating jobs, it also generates wealth.
