This is the second phase of a research project that began in 2007 at Cheetham Community School. RAPAR established that there was an interest at the school about sharing views on "wellbeing":
By the end of the first phase we had produced a research report that you can read here (as pdf).
During this second phase our aims are:
· Develop research presentation skills: negotiating access; constructing presentations; public speaking; interactive facilitation; recording information
· Enable other women to participate in learning sessions
· Prepare, deliver and write up from each learning session, mentor in between learning sessions by phone, guide on programme of public presentation
· Disseminate, validate and augment the research amongst and within a much wider layer of, initially, women in Cheetham Hill
· Create an augmented version of the research that becomes owned by groups of women who are networked throughout Cheetham Hill and beyond and whose research legacy can contribute to informing the development of a range of culturally appropriate community-based initiatives about wellbeing
This project is funded by the Joint Health Unit of Manchester. It is a work-in-progress and this webpage will be being added to over time... In the meantime keep your eyes peeled for information about our road show, which aims to disseminate and validate our research findings so far.
- What does wellbeing mean - in different cultures?
- Why does it mean different things to different people?
- What are the barriers to wellbeing?
- Can women - together - overcome them?
