It’s not often that a major methodological event is held right here on our doorstep. But it’s happening this September!
The 11th World Congress for action learning and action research will be co-hosted at AUT on 18-19 September. Join ALARA (Action Learning, Action Research Association) and AUT’s own SPRINZ (Sport Performance Research Institute New Zealand) for the New Zealand section of the programme.
Action research is all about enacting change. As you implement a potential solution to a problem, you research and reflect on that solution to investigate its efficacy. This often involves co-design with the people involved in the change, and can be a powerful way to create real-world impact through your research process.
Engage with and learn from world leaders in this research methodology and become part of a collaborative community of practice.
