Integrating Local Wisdom

Within the CollaborACTION Lab, local knowledge play a vital role in facilitating community-driven research and fostering collaborative solutions. By integrating the lived experiences of local community members into the lab's activities, we ensure that valuable insights and expertise are captured, shared, and utilized effectively. Here's how local wisdom contributes to the CollaborACTION Lab's mission:

Knowledge Sharing and Dissemination

The CollaborACTION lab disseminates insights from community-driven research projects through showcases, storytelling events, partnerships with media outlets. These bring to light the findings and inquiries that shape our local communities.

Knowledge Outreach

We recognize that knowledge is not solely derived from academic sources, but also from the lived experiences and local wisdom of community members. One approach we employ is respondent-driven sampling, which allows us to leverage existing social networks to reach a diverse range of individuals and ensure representation from various perspectives.

Collaboration with Institutions

We bring multidisciplinary approaches to the decision-making table, ensuring that actions and decisions not only informed by academic research and institutional expertise but also rooted in the realities, aspirations, and priorities of the local community.
