dc.description.abstractParticipatory research supports individuals, groups, and movements challenging social inequalities and promoting empowerment. It fosters critical understanding of social problems and actively involves communities in analyzing and addressing structural issues. Unlike traditional research, it emphasizes democratic interactions between researchers and participants, aiming for collaborative analysis and collective action. Participatory research integrates processes of investigation, critical reflection, and strategic action, serving as both an educational and transformative tool for social change.
