The project aims to support Western Australian community service organisations in responding to the social justice impacts of climate change and disasters.
By participating in the workshop, you will be invited to take part in optional data collection activities, including collective storyboarding, note-taking, visual scribing, and surveys using paper-based or digital tools. You can still participate in the workshop even if you do not want to take part in the data collection.
Before registering and attending, please read the Participant Information Sheet, which includes details on what the research project involves, what your participation entails, the benefits and potential risks of participating, and who to contact if you have questions. The information sheet also explains the data collected is for the purpose of evaluation and research only and that the information you share will be kept anonymous so you cannot be identified, and it will be stored in a safe place.
When you register you will be asked to consent that you understand the nature of the research. You will be reminded of the research activities during the workshop and have the option to consent or withdraw from any of them at any time.
