February's Get Involved Updates

A Research Collaboration based at Coventry City Council are looking for people working in Voluntary and Community Organisations who are interested in co-creating research training.

The Health Determinants Research Collaboration(External link) (HDRC) are working with Coventry University to develop a “community researchers” course. This course will run later in the year for members of the public and voluntary and community organisations. The course will provide training and support for participants to conduct a piece of research in their own communities. The goal of the Coventry HDRC is to improve our understanding about how different factors impact our lives and health, including the environments where we live, our housing, jobs, education, and early years experiences. We need to involve organisations and the public in our work to achieve this.

The HDRC are looking for people working in voluntary and community organisations who want to help design this training. This will help make sure the training is accessible, useful, and interesting when it is delivered later in the year.

The HDRC team are running an interactive workshop for staff from voluntary and community organisations, to come and learn about the HDRC and help design this training course. Details are below:

Date: 13th March 2024

Time: 10am – 12:30pm
