Advantages in participatory action Advantages in participatory action approach and accompanying processapproach and accompanying process

Our approach will serve to:

Combine research with education (or co‐learning);

Enhance the dialogue among all concerned actors (citizens, researchers, non‐’ i i l d ffi i l i il d ’ i i i )

22

g ggov’t organizations, elected officials, civil servants and gov’t ministries);

Create a collaborative and a deliberative space to share knowledge and democratize the knowledge production process;

Participants are not situated on the periphery of the knowledge production;

Consider the implications of political, ecological, social and economic contexts on local resilience‐building;

Help establish trust and legitimacy;

Should bridge the gap between research and action.
