ALARA Events

The World Congress is an opportunity to:

Engage with like-minded (and other-minded) people in conversations about historical and current philosophies underpinning PAR / AR / AL, debate issues of power, deepen your understanding of methodologies and be inspired by accounts of contemporary practices/praxis.

Be stimulated by critical dialogues and reflections within the ‘applied' streams of: Ecology and its several areas of engagement; Community Development; International Development; Health and Wellbeing (including the various ‘welfare' fields of engagement); Systems /Business / Organisational Development; Education and Learning, from pre-school to post-graduate; and Decolonising praxis, including cross-cultural learning with Indigenous and other Peoples and contexts.

Meet the people that are actively engaged in Action Research / Action Learning and most of its applied fields. Meet practitioners of the 'new' generation. Talk and listen to the ‘Elders' who have lived during and contributed to the early growth periods of PAR, AR & AL and who continue to be initiators and innovators.

Gather materials, shared-knowledge and contacts to take PAR / AR / AL with you into workplaces, associations, organisations and lives. Brush up on the basics of PAR / AR / AL and their current present-day practices, their
commonalities and diversity.

Become part of local, regional and global networks practicing PAR /AR / AL.
