Practitioner researchers in training….

Today was the first practitioner research training event as part of this project.ย  It was also the first time I had met the practitioners who will be undertaking research projects about older people over the next few months.

This then really represents the start of a journey, or the beginning of the next step perhaps (given its taken us over a year to even get here!).

At the event today everyone was asked to choose an image which best represented what research meant to them.ย  Here are the images everyone chose, and as people explained their thinking I was amazed by the perceptions and level of knowledge in the group.

Which one would you choose?

What does research mean to you?
