    Global trends in training community-based research in higher education institutions and civil society organizations
    (UNESCO Chair in Community-based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, 2015-07) Lepore, Walter
    Across the world, the practice of community-based research is growing, yet the ways in which people learn and are trained for it remain uneven and often informal. This report draws on a global survey of practitioners and institutions to explore how CBR knowledge is acquired, what gaps exist in training, and what possibilities are opening up. The findings suggest both the strength of informal learning networks and the challenges of building more structured opportunities, particularly in regions where resources are scarce. By mapping these trends, the study raises important questions about how future generations of researchers might be supported, and what it would take to make training in CBR truly global and accessible.

    PRIA's engagements with higher educational institutions (HEIs): Initiatives in community based research (CBR)
    (Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2014) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
    PRIA has engaged with academia in a multitude of interventions, bringing community and practitioner knowledge into the portals of traditional research institutions and processes. By doing this, PRIA has helped Higher Educational Institutions (HEls) realize their social responsibility towards a community's needs and aspirations. This document traces PRIA's work in promoting community engagement within HEls in India and beyond. The experience, garnered over three decades, have been classified into six categories to highlight the different forms PRIA's interventions as a facilitator have taken to build bridges between the world of formal research, the practitioner knowledge of civil society actors and the experiential knowledge of local communities. The experiences discussed in this paper are not intended to be comprehensive; a few specific interventions are described under each category to illustrate the nature of the engagements fostered and the practices promoted.
