Participation Network

Staf is delighted to be taking on the responsibility for running The Participation Network from CELCIS after 5 excellent years of #partycipation.

The network is open to anyone who wants to use their voice or empower the voice of others. It is a space to collaborate to make change, it acts as a community of practice for allowing people to reflect and learn from each other.
