Participatory Research Toolkit:
Recording Interviews
|
By Saba Waheed | Research Director
This toolkit provides an overview of an interview
project. It focuses on participatory research, research
done for and by individuals in the community. The
community is able to express the issues that are
important in their own lives, instead of outsiders
determining issues on their behalf. Interviews by
community members are a valuable method for obtaining
this information. They allow us to document what
is going on in our community, learn more about ourselves,
and give a voice to individuals who are often denied
presence and visibility in our society.

Insights into the DataCenter/SOUL Youth Workshop
|
By
Haruki Eda| Fall Intern 2010 |October
27, 2010
Miho and I, as a new DataCenter intern, co-facilitated
this workshop during the National
Youth Organizing Training Institute (NYOTI)
by
School of Unity and Liberation (SOUL), hosted
at Center
for Third World Organizing (CTWO) in Oakland.
A total of 15 youth organizers from the Bay Area,
New York City, Boston, or Arizona actively engaged
in activities and shared so much in discussions,
to learn the why and how of using research for their
work. Our aim was to demystify research and investigation,
and to reframe it as a strategic tool to build the
power behind their voices in campaigns.

DataCenter has partnered with the Washington, D.C.-based
Neighborhood Funders Group (NFG), a national
philanthropic affinity group of social justice grantmaking

survey for longitudinal use and in preparation for
a strategic planning process to commence in January

to provide NFG with an in-depth and up-to-date understanding
of the member foundations and their current relationship
to and involvement with NFG. This will inform NFG's
future strategic direction, programming and services.
