Workshop
Nothing about us without us: what is consumer participation and lived experience?
Nothing about us without us: what is consumer participation and lived experience?
Overview
This workshop takes a deep dive into participatory practices and methods and reflects on the role and value of lived experience and expertise in social and systems change contexts.
We use real-world examples to look at how participatory practices are being used in the context of social change. We also explore and interrogate practices in the field such as co-design and co-production.
You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the rich history and principles of consumer and broader movements and be able to locate your work within this context.
This workshop is for those who are:
- Seeking to develop and strengthen their participatory practice
- Working with people with lived and living experience
- Wanting to learn more about how to effectively draw from their own lived and living experience as part of their practice and/or advocacy
- Setting up or running client, consumer or lived experience advisory groups
- New or experienced practitioners who haven’t had the chance to reflect on theory and/or practice alongside sector peers (e.g. peer workers, lived experience consultants and advocates).

Facilitator, format, and pace were amazing.
“Breakout rooms weren’t onerous or too short/long, and Morgan was INCREDIBLE. The space that was set up right at the beginning was so safe and respectful. It really set the scene for the training.”
