Speaker: Zoe Dibb , The Young Foundation

Peer research is an empowering and increasingly popular method of research. It is directed and conducted by people who have lived experience of the issues being studied, allowing their shared understanding to uncover authentic insights about respondents’ lives, while also enabling individual researchers to affect positive change that matters to them.

Today, within charities, businesses, and not-for-profits such as The Young Foundation, peer research is used to inform programmes, policies and decision-making. It’s vital that such organisations design ethical peer research that will result in actionable, high-quality data. But how we do we do that? How can we co-design research approaches and tools with peer researchers? What are the common pitfalls - and how can they be avoided, with careful planning?

Join The Young Foundation’s Head of Research, Zoe Dibb, to hear what she has learnt from training and supporting over 400 peer researchers in Africa, Asia and Europe - and to hear how The Young Foundation and its Peer Research Network are embracing this approach to better understand, involve, and innovate with communities around the UK.

This is a free event.

The webinar will be hosted via Zoom (please join with a personal computer if your work computer won't allow Zoom).
