CECS hosted a seminar on Research-Action methodologies

Researchers from different scientific areas, within the University of Minho and other schools in Portuguese speaking countries (Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique and Timor), were gathered on last 9^th May 2017, in the Social Sciences Institute in the UM, to discuss Research-Action methodologies, focusing on Ethics, participation and knowledge democratization. This event “Quality in the Research-Action methodologies” was intended to promote the collaboration between CARN (Collaborative Action Research Network) and Estreiadiálogos (Lusophone Network of Research-Action methodologies), to expand the potential of this scientific area.

Researchers were also keen to prepare the participation of Estreiadiálogos in the 1^st Assembly of the group, to be held on 16^th June 2017, in Cartagena, Colombia, subject to the title “Participation and Democratization of Knowledge: New Convergences towards Reconciliation”. CECS researcher Ana Maria Silva, as secretary of Estreiadiálogos, will be participating in the event.

This seminar was a joint collaboration of Estreiadiálogos, CARN and CECS.
