  Participatory Action Research With Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) With Lived Experience: Transforming Cancer Care, Together

  Friday, June 19, 12 to 1 p.m. EDT, on Zoom

  Over the last five years, the Anew Research Collaborative at Royal Roads University has been working together with AYAs and care allies to understand their distinct experiences and needs and co-design tangible changes in AYA cancer care and support.
  

  In this workshop, we will:

  1. Introduce Participatory Action Research and how we approach it in our work,
  2. Explore some essential guideposts when engaging in Participatory Action Research,
  3. Engage in interactive activities to explore Participatory Action Research in practice.

  Come explore with us how you might apply Participatory Action Research principles and practices in your psychosocial oncology research and practice.
