The World Congresses 4th on Action Research, Action Learning and Process Management, and 8th on Participatory Action-Research
(1997) Organizing Committee of the World Congresses
The 4th World Congress on Action Research, Action Learning, and Process Management, along with the 8th World Congress on Participatory Action-Research (PAR), held in Cartagena, Colombia, in 1997, focused on addressing global issues such as poverty, migration, maldevelopment, and racism through participatory methods. The congress aimed to break the positivist hold on science by promoting knowledge production by and with the people for social transformation. The discussions covered participatory approaches to learning, evaluation, and action in various sectors like education, government, and business, emphasizing the importance of global collaboration to solve pressing issues. The congress also explored how participatory methods could be integrated into various fields to foster justice, equity, and cultural diversity, with a focus on the convergence of intellectual and practical trends across regions.
