PPI Arts-Based Participatory Research

The PPI Arts-Based Participatory Research Shared Learning Group, coordinated by PPI Ignite @ University of Limerick, meets every three months online. These meetings are an opportunity to learn from each other as attendees share their experiences of using the arts in participatory health research. We share examples of excellence, methodologies, problem-solving and issues that arise in projects and discuss how to start if you are interested in beginning to incorporate the arts into participatory research. The group is open to anyone who is interested in arts and health research and no prior experience is required.
Facilitator: Prof Hilary Moss
