Creating a level playing field for collaboration
Podcast Description
How can we make a difference together, in equity and mutuality, instead of inviting people to participate in a project they do not own? In this series, we discover what works by sharing stories of lived experience from a diversity of wise guests. Organizers, participants, facilitators, researchers of participatory projects. By sharing examples and insights we want to contribute to co-creating a world that works for all. Special thanks to Jane Lewis for helping to bring this series to life, and to our guests.
