Programme focus

Turn a broad interest into a clear question and a thoughtful plan for inquiry. This area of focus is being developed as part of CARE's learning and professional development work. It can inform a workshop, a short learning series or an institutional conversation, depending on the needs of the intended audience.

Who may find it useful

Research scholars, early-career researchers and educators. Participants can bring questions from their own context and use discussion and practical exercises to examine possible approaches.

Learning approach

The proposed approach combines clear explanations, guided reflection and practical application. An institutional enquiry can describe the experience of the group, the context and the outcomes it hopes to achieve so that the scope can be discussed meaningfully.

Participation and delivery

This page invites expressions of interest. A scheduled cohort or institutional programme will be announced with confirmed faculty, duration, format, dates, fees where applicable and participation requirements. These details should be reviewed before registration.

Certificate information

Any certificate type and the criteria for issuing it will be stated in the programme announcement. Sending an expression of interest does not establish enrolment or certificate eligibility.
