Learning for Change Programme

This is an opportunity to be part of the GM Research Engagement Network Learning for Change programme. This unique experience brings together Greater Manchester Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector partners, researchers and community leaders to co-learn, build relationships, and shape new ways of working together.

Learning for Change brings together around 30 participants (half researchers, half VCFSE/community partners) to work in a collaborative, informal and creative learning space to co-develop new, more respectful ways of working together. 

Through workshops, collaborative mentoring, and shared learning, the programme supports practical application of the GM Respectful Research Charter’s values and principles which aims to facilitate equitable and mutually beneficial research partnerships for all. VCFSE sector colleagues/ community leaders will be re-imbursed for their time and any travel expenses incurred.
