The social, historical, cultural and democratic context of civic engagement: imagining different communities and making them happen.

Lead Research Organisation: University of Sheffield
Department Name: Education

Abstract

Our research studies how communities connect people, both today and in the past. These connections take many forms, but often include people coming together to seek change and pursue a different future. We are interested in the role imagination plays in how such futures are conceived and pursued. The history of people's involvement in community initiatives includes both successful innovation and frustration and disappointment, in the UK and elsewhere. Our project will learn from both scenarios. We will study community connections in different types of community (some present, some past). Using our new knowledge, together we will imagine how communities might be different and experiment with different forms of community building.

Communities are made up of people who share some things in common, but also have differences. In the light of this we want to ask four main questions: 1) What are the best ways of conceptualising, researching and promoting connected communities so that they have the potential to accommodate and benefit from social, cultural and economic differences and diverse opinions and practices? 2) What does the history of civic engagement tell us about how and why the social, historical, cultural and democratic context matters to community-building? 3) What role can imagining better futures play in capturing and sustaining enthusiasm and momentum for change? 4) Is community research being transformed by developments in research methodologies, particularly the development of creative and collaborative methods?

Our approach to these questions challenges ideas of community that focus on what is lacking, highlighting instead the role that harnessing imagination plays in shaping community futures. It brings together researchers from a range of disciplines across the social sciences and arts and humanities interested in community relationships together with partner organisations dedicated to community development in a range of locations. International colleagues will add further dimensions to the consortium's activities, acting as keynote speakers at events, and as advisory committee members.

The projects will employ a range of approaches to research, but with collaborative and participatory methods (community partners and universities working together) being central. Several projects involve going back to sites of previous research to explore what can be learned that is of relevance to to-day's debates about community. The return to sites of the Community Development Project of the late 1960s/early 1970s will include analysis of background statistics, documentary records, interviews, oral history, community arts and other community-based activities, tracing that history and its legacies down to the present. We will revisit culture and arts projects, and projects working with disadvantaged groups, all of which have sought to promote community resilience. Reflections on the lessons of these experiences will feed into planned interventions with members of 'disadvantaged' communities to fire imagination about the future and help to build resilience and a momentum for change. Another project will investigate what motivates volunteers to cross social and geographical boundaries, using mapping techniques, surveys and focus groups to capture these connections. The context of this proposal is a strong impetus globally towards people looking for new ways to participate in decision-making about issues that affect their lives, and to participate in research that involves them - the so-called 'democratisation of social research'. The various strands of research are held together by the team's shared interests in how people envisage co-operating and how these ideas get put into practice in diverse communities. Answering these questions requires working collaboratively to look at a range of different cases, both past and present, and to draw appropriate conclusions to inform current debates and visions of the future.

Planned Impact

Many groups can be identified that will benefit from this research. Most direct beneficiaries are the organizations outside of academia who have already agreed to collaborate with the projects in the consortium, including 37 whose letters of support are included in this application. Others have agreed verbally. Collectively these partners represent a very wide range of organizations including museums and galleries, charities, and national organizations as well as local community-based organizations with established links to both community members and policy-makers. This range of organizations can only grow as the research proceeds. Several of the proposed projects involve re-visiting organizations involved in previous community-university partnerships (such as those in the SECC and Beacons programmes), and further broadening of the network of organizations benefitting from the research will occur through the programme of annual conferences and other dissemination events and through the use of the project website to reach out. In the commercial private sector, efforts will be made to engage with architects and builders involved in community-building and regeneration, through invitations to the conference at which Cheshire will provide an international perspective. Similar invitations will be targeted at public, voluntary and commercial sector organizations in relation to the conferences devoted to collaborative working, fostering historical imagination, democratic methods for researching communities, the sights and sounds of imagined community futures, and comparative perspectives on community dvelopment, all of which will be of interest to commercial organizations in the cultural sector. Finally, beneficiaries will include individuals who do not necessarily have formal links to organizations. The consortium will draw on the wealth of its members' experience of engaging the wider public through dissemination events and other activities.

These diverse groups will benefit in several ways. The most direct of these relate to the outcomes of the projects that involve planned interventions to explore the potential of communities of practice to foster resilience and momentum for change among members of disadvantaged communities. Alongside these projects are others which are also designed to promote active engagement in the process of thinking about different community futures and making them happen. Community relationships are at the heart of people's quality of life, and the promotion of active engagement in community processes has the potential to contribute to this, especially if these activities are inclusive and participatory. In working towards the achievement of this ideal, the consortium's approach emphasises the importance of learning from experience, both the knowledge of previous community development initiatives in the UK and lessons derived through engagement with international partners, who will each make extended visits to allow them to feed in across the consortium. The public policy dimensions of these issues include examination of how community initiatives avoid the well-known pitfalls of 'top-down' processes, while the fact that diverse communities in the UK will be involved will allow direct engagement with the localism agenda. The fact that the consortium's work involves a programme that unfolds over 5 years means that projects later on in the schedule will be able to build on the results of the earlier work, such as the engagement with the Participedia project on participatory politics. These results will be available at the end of year one, and community partners and advisory group members will advise on how best to feed them into the later projects. In this way, the development of skills in more democratic of research among academic researchers and community members will be promoted. Efforts will also be made to maximise the legacy of the consortium's work through creation of durable resources.

Year Produced 2021 
Impact Comment from a youth worker who visited: I like the way the exhibits, testimonies and music all blended together and was very moved by the stories of these brave young women who left their homelands with just one or two suitcases. What would you pack? How to condense a lifetime and culture into such a small space. I've done this exercise with young people in relation to the Jewish Holocaust. I thought it interesting that they all seemed to pack the trouser cords, scarves and bangle from their weddings, the Quran and the cooking utensils. It is very important that these stories are told, in an ever-changing world where everything is instant and you don't have to wait weeks for an aerogram.

Description Many communities are excluded from decision-making processes and are marginalised in relation to civic engagement and community participation. The Imagine project sought to address these issues through a series of partnerships between local universities and non-academic communities of place, interest and identity. These partnerships fostered discussions about the significance and meaning of working together, within and across communities. Everyone accepted that 'community' was difficult to define, but mostly we felt that the term symbolised a desire to live and work together for mutual benefit, rather than for the enrichment or accumulation of power by a few in society. Hence, 'community development', as a value-based process, which aims to address imbalances in power and bring about change founded on social justice, equality and inclusion, came to the fore as a way of understanding questions of civic engagement and participation in the communities in which we live and work. In particular, the notion of 'community development' underlined the importance of co-productive research as an embedded and relational approach, rather than as quick, instrumental process.
Our finding are drawn across four distinct work streams:
In Brighton, our work set out to learn about and develop resilience based approaches with young people who face challenging life situations. Young people worked collectively to create a resilience toolkit - a resource of products and ideas for developing resilience e.g. One Step Forward, a guide developing by looked after children and Changing Lanes, a resource developed by young men with experience of the criminal justice system. The young people, in partnership with BoingBoing and the the University of Brighton School of Design, re-imagined the toolkit through the process of design.
This work and its findings demonstrated the importance of arts-based methodologies and partnership working to transform the ways that young people are supported in relation to their mental health. Of particular significance was the role of poetry, both as a form of expression and as a mode of inquiry. We also developed the idea of 'Belonging Maps', which highlighted the significance of material resources and artefacts when working with diverse communities. This stream of work explored the structures of knowledge production and sharing that occurs within communities. Our findings have addressed the questions that are concerned with how communities can research their own histories and also what methodologies are best for doing that research.
The work of the Imagine project in Brighton directly contributed to the successful expansion of this work to Blackpool through securing a 10.4 million grant.
On Tyneside, community partners and academics from Durham University explored changing perspectives on civic engagement, with particular emphasis on community-based arts and heritage projects. A key finding was that People belonging to communities of place, identity and interest need to be able to reclaim their own histories. In one part of the Imagine project, a research team explored activities, achievements and legacies of the Community Development Projects (CDPs) of the 1970's in three areas: Benwell (Newcastle), North Shields and Hillfields (Coventry). The CDPs were part of an experimental Home Office anti-poverty programme, initiated in the late 1960s in 12 'deprived' neighbourhoods, adopting an action-research approach. The CDPs understood the value of historical research and importance of documenting 'hidden histories' of local working people to counter histories of the powerful. In Benwell, North Shields and Coventry today groups of local people are keen to write their own histories to challenge the stigma still associated with the areas, thus strengthening and empowering local community groups (see www.dur.ac.uk/socialjustice/imagine/). The work and its findings demonstrated the value of arts-based activities in promoting inter-generational learning, for example through graffiti art. It demonstrated the value of historical perspectives in re-evaluating the work of community organisations in their neighbourhoods today. It showed the potential for changing the practice of museums in response to community-initiated heritage projects.
In Rotherham, the community research team looked at ways of empowering women in local communities by drawing on research that focuses on cultures, histories and identities. The focus was on developing longer-term relationships and legacies which would contribute to community cohesion.
The work and its findings demonstrated that existing community knowledge (oral, intergenerational, historical and located in practice) must be recognised and valued. It showed the way in which history matters, for example the history of the Pakistani community and their contributions to British history, for example, the second world war, needs to be recovered and valued. Such processes of recognition and valuing can lead to individual and community enrichment, for example one group of women produced a book about their use herbal remedies, which has been used in school settings and which has led to several of the participants returning to continue their own education. The work stream pointed to the way in which community activism needs to be nurtured from where women are, existing structures are not always easy for women to access and local, small initiatives work best.
In Huddersfield, community researchers worked with historians to contributions to historical knowledge and thinking. Arts and humanities co-production linked academic expertise and community experience to produce robust research whereby individuals developed skills for community development.
The work and its findings demonstrate that communities are able to articulate their own needs in a variety of outputs and forms, over which they have control. Often academics are already engaged with existing community activities - such as flourishing black history month events - and these partnerships enabled new forms of articulation. The work showed that the continuing underrepresentation of BME people in universities and other power structures can be mediated by coproduction to support skills for engagement. The work demonstrated the way in which co-production can become a dynamic gateway between grassroots activity and larger cultural institutions such as museums and galleries. We have used this work to inform thinking on the GCRF project, notably with the new 'Belonging and learning' project which is exploring the potential of participatory art approaches to work with policy makers.
We have used the thinking in this project to work collaboratively with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on a project that involved co-production (Pioneering digital co-operation for resilient communities). This has helped us articulate the importance of culture in co-creating through digital means.
Exploitation Route We believe our findings are of use to civil servants who have an interest in community participation and civic engagement. We also have found that our findings have value for those wanting to work with universities from charities and third sector organisations. Organisations such as the Big Lottery, the Big Local, DCMS and other arts sector organisations have found our work helpful in thinking through co-production. We consider our articles to be leading the debate about how to do co-production with communities in ethical ways. We have informed the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement on our work. We have also advised RCUK and other funders on how co-production can be ethically constructed within research. We have also made a difference to people's lives - young people have gained in skills and resilience through the 'Boing Boing' network. Community groups have accessed university knowledge and skills. Communities have reclaimed their histories and created major exhibitions which thousands of people have attended. Major partnerships, between museums and galleries and universities, for example, have been set up and major awards won from subsequent collaborations. We have international links across the US, Canada and Australia and these partnerships have disseminated the work more widely.
Our headline findings are:
" Co-produced research is important. We use the term 'co-production' to describe methodologies that are collaborative, participatory and democratic and which try to access hidden or otherwise absent voices in civic life. Co-producing research has enabled us to develop methodologies that include voices and perspectives that uncover different forms of engagement, whether this be with groups of Muslim women, young people, people with complex needs or diverse groups within community settings. Community research teams are an essential part of this as they are able to set priorities that are important to them.

" Funding should be made available for open ended, experimental projects that make use of creative arts and a multiplicity of methodologies to encourage dialectical thinking. This can include groups researching hidden histories, artistic and visual understandings of engagement, including poetry, visual and relational art and approaches that rest on creating spaces for dialogue and communities of practice. Co-production enables new perspectives to be developed that can open up directions that universities might not have considered.

" Community development support is essential. Local authorities are cutting back but there needs to be staff supporting community projects and initiatives, regardless of whether or not there is a co-production partner such as a University.

" Universities are important resources for communities to research with and from.

" Knowledge production practices need to be carefully thought through in relation to how they value community knowledge and ideas. Shared outputs, e.g. books and other artistic products, can capture shared research practices.

This work has the potential to inform the GCRF programme, as it is concerned with re-thinking knowledge production practices. The 'Imagine' project has been featured as a case study in the ARHC-funded 'Common Cause' project . It has also been used as a case study in a recent publication by John Diamond and Carolyn Kagan on University - Community Relations in the UK, Engaging Universities (Palgrave 2020). The work has potential to support the 'Build Back Better' initiatives post-COVID, and to develop mechanisms by which community engagement can take place that respect ways of knowing in communities.

Description The findings from this project have been utilised in a number of diverse ways - locally and nationally and internationally, and across a range of different audiences and sectors. Our work has had a strong policy impact. We have briefed the Office for Civil Society at the Cabinet Office, and there have been reported changes in the understanding of co-production, community/university partnerships and how civic engagement can be fostered through co-produced research. Our research has also informed policy thinking at the Race Disparity Unit in the Cabinet Office, where our input was described as 'fundamental to shaping the race disparity audit'. Findings have also been used by the Integration Unit at the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to inform their Empowering Women initiative, where the briefing emphasised the importance of the arts, small-scale initiatives and cross-community initiatives, all of which were present in the final call that was produced. We also briefed the Select Committee on Citizenship and civic engagement in September 2017. We briefed Rotherham Metropolitan Council through the 'Stronger Communities' Forum. The project has directly led to the publication of two books: 'Reimagining Contested Communities' (Policy Press, 2018), which was co-written with the Department of Communities and Local Government, and 'Co-producing Research: a community development approach' (2019). Our book, 'Re-imagining Contested Communities' was launched in May and a senior policy analyst from the DCLG acknowledged that the process of working on the book project with us enabled her to understand how to listen to communities differently. In addition to these published books, over 65 articles have been produced across the consortium. Our work around resilience has provided the impetus for HeadStart, a £10.4 million Big Lottery Fund grant, which is funded to develop the 'Resilience Revolution' in Blackpool. This involves the expansion of Brighton-based social enterprise Boingboing to Blackpool, where it will extend the resilience-building ideas, practices and products co-developed with young people on the Imagine Project, as well as the provision of workforce training in Resilient Therapy throughout Blackpool. On a local level, we have enabled a number of community partners to become researchers in their own right, thereby moving the locus of research from the academy to the communities themselves. Community researchers have moved on to doctorates, and degrees. This has produced a number of local impacts. For example, two community-led publications 'Threads of Time' and 'Herbal Medicine', which draw upon funds of knowledge in local communities, have been widely used across schools Rotherham, and other community-led resources are available on the BoingBoing website (www.boingboing.org.uk). Various local events have been held throughout the life of project. For example, in June 2017, local government officials and arts workers in Rotherham acknowledged changes in their thinking regarding community knowledge. Local work in the North East and Coventry has led to deeper understandings of 'hope' as an important ingredient in working with communities, as well as arts methods including exhibitions and collaborative artistic activities. A major film on Park Hill is on permanent display at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield. Our work has informed RCUK processes and practices. We provided a case study for the AHRC funded 'Common Cause' project which was concerned with the relationship between universities and BAME organisations. A film was shown to key members of RCUK about this which featured our work and collaborations. Catalyst funding provided a conference aimed at community researchers across a number of RCUK funded projects and participants reported changes in their confidence and ability to present their work to external audiences. We have also informed internal university practices. Our project officer, Angela Warren, trialled a new way of paying community partners easily and quickly at the University of Sheffield and this was reported to a central working group set up by Connected Communities. We presented the 'Imagine' project at the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE), and our work has been used within public engagement and civic engagement contexts. Co-production of research has become more widely understood within local, national and international contexts as our work has impacted across policy, practitioner and researcher sectors. An impact case study about our work was published on the ESRC website, and our ethical systems were profiled on the ESRC website. We have informed the direction of further ESRC investments and have been consulted about our work by major funders. In all of the work packages, the university became the catalyst for further initiatives, as a result of the co-production processes initiated by Imagine. Therefore the project has impacted on universities as well as on communities and the wider publics. In Rotherham, Clifton Park Museum have now adopted a co-productive approach to working with BAME communities and young people.

Description Cabinet Office Race Disparity Audit consultation workshop
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact The Race Disparity Audit initiated by the Prime Minister in 2016 resulted in the creation of https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/ The Imagine project had been in contact with John Connell, civil servant managing the audit data collection process, via a workshop at the NCVO in March 2016 and through a seminar held with BAME organisations organised by Kirklees Local TV, based in Huddersfield. In October 2017, Imagine held a consultation workshop for the race disparity audit, including participants across the day from Kirklees council, the fire service and NGOs. About 40 people participated and contributed to the discussion about the shape and role of the data that would appear on the website. John Connell summarised the impact of the day as follows (letter to Paul Ward, 12 Octover 2017) : "it was great to be reminded of the great work from the Imagine project and I look forward to the final findings from that. What I like about that project and your role bringing together public, private and voluntary sectors at this event is how the University felt like a space the partners in a place could come to develop ideas and action. It felt like the hub of learning for Kirklees and Yorkshire more widely rather than just for your students. I know the ''shared university' is pretty central to the imagine project and have heard about it at presentations before on Imagine - that universities have resources and expertise that can contribute to real-world issues. It really brought it to life at the event, the links from neighbourhoods to internationally, by drawing on the lived knowledge of those outside the university. This model provides a way for Universities to contribute to shaping policy through mobilising knowledge from different perspective. A theme through the day was about the University's partnership with Kirklees Local TV. It was eye opening to notice how Milton can access a range of people, at the same time as benefiting your students through the opportunities he provides. It was great to hear positive feedback and throughout the day it was helpful in looking at what we said at launch. I think some of the messages were ? Having data in one place is helpful but the launch needs to be clear what next and how the data will lead to better outcomes. ? It should link up with other sources where possible for example local authority data which can be richer and show more. ? There is a need for governance and accountability to drive change. ? Non Government Organisations were keen to be part of the solutions rather than being done too. I hope you saw this narrative throughout the coverage at launch. I really appreciate your time and being fundamental to shaping the Race Disparity Audit. The session and your views has really helped shape the policy now and going forward."

Policy Influence Type Contribution to new or Improved professional practice
Impact The 'Imagine' project led to: • Improved and increased multi-modality of pedagogies, resources and spaces for literacy delivery at Grimm & Co • Heightened awareness of storytelling, traditions and folklore + preferred modes of engagement from Eastern European culture, informing practices and improving inclusivity. • Artefactual literacies and creative use of the arts to engage others to make meaning from children's stories - has become a successful and improved tool for Grimm & Co. • Improved co-production methodologies which are informing and influencing Rotherham's approaches to engaging with children and young people. Rotherham recently won a bid to the Creative People, Creative Places fund for £2 million to engage communities in the arts. This is a participatory project - the practices for this began with your work Kate. This is a monetary outcome but it will also draw in 4 x this amount in match funding + this will engage communities in determining and developing their access to creativity, cultural activities and the arts.

Title Resilience Q-method 
Description . Q-methodology is a rigorous method to refine models such as the Resilience Framework. A set of statements from resilience framework were generated in collaboration with academics, field workers and young people. 
Type Of Material Model of mechanisms or symptoms - human 
Year Produced 2017 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact quite strong interest and request from both academics and practitioners 
 
Title The Resilience Framework 
Description The Resilience Framework is based on Resilient Therapy (RT), the name we've given to the set of ideas and practices originally developed by Angie Hart and Derek Blincow, with help from Helen Thomas. We took the resilience research evidence base and put it together with other sets of ideas gleaned from our practice with very disadvantaged children and families in an NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinic. Alongside this, Angie's adoptive parenting knowledge went into the mix and, we've collected experiences from those we are working with in our RT Communities of Practice. We distilled all these different sets of ideas into a handy RT table that summarises our approach and acts as a reminder to people of what's included. Practitioners and parents use the table to plan strategic moves with children. We've also been developing a version of the table for use with adults, and this is where we've got to so far with that, which is still work in progress, the Resilience Framework for adults. All our tables and frameworks are available as pdfs in the Resources section on the boingboing website - it has also been translated into Greek, German, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. 
Type Of Material Model of mechanisms or symptoms - human 
Year Produced 2011 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact Numerous groups have adopted it and used it in various ways. It has been translated into many different languages and people use it in many countries. See engagmenet sections for more details.

Description Bridge Building (Young people) project, Rotherham by Zanib Rasool 
Organisation Rotherham United Community Sports Trust
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution Imagine project community researcher, Zanib Rasool, was pivotal in establishing a relationship with the Police Crime Commissioner in Rotherham through her work at Rotherham United Community Sports Trust as a Partnership Development Manager and her links with policy practitioners eg. governing body.
Collaborator Contribution Zanib Rasool, Community Researcher, was successful in obtaining further funding to help build bridges between young people of different faiths living parallel lives in the town of Rotherham.
Impact The outcome of this collaboration is that the Community Researcher submitted a bid to the Police Crime Commissioner and received funding valued at £20,135. The building bridges project will target Rotherham North area which is getting more segregated and creating a culture of them and us leading to undertones of racism in schools and in the community and creating gangs. Through creative methods (film, dance, photography, art, graffiti, poetry and writing) the project will open channel of communication between young people who are on the margins and promote community cohesion. The Imagine project (Rotherham) identified a number of BME young people feeling vulnerable in Rotherham due to racism. This new project will help build resilience of young people and support the knock on effect from the CSE scandal, reduce incidents of in hate crime resulting from Far Right marches and also support Muslim young people to resist Islamic extremist rhetoric. The project will bring young people from Kimberworth Park and Ferham, for example to take part in photography or girls from Wingfield and Masbrough taking part in poetry workshops. Another bridge building activity will be working with Mosques and churches and delivering some workshops in faith buildings so young people are more tolerant of other faiths and breakdown the negative stereotypes especially of Islam which is leading to a rise in islamophobic incidents. Young people will be brought together to celebrate Eid and will take part in a question and answer session with a panel of faith leaders, police, and Hope Not Hate. They will train up young people and raise their awareness of Hate crime and how to report it. They will produce young people friendly posters after the training which will be circulated in schools. Some of the young people work in take-away or family taxi firms so they can be advocates in those settings. Once trained the young people will have knowledge to report themselves if they see an incident on a bus or in town. This will increase reporting and active citizenship.

Title Building Mental Health Resilience Recovery College Course 
Description The co-designed intervention is a mental health Recovery College course - Building Resilience for Well-being and Recovery. The programme comprises 8 2 hours weekly sessions developed by a partnership of peer trainers, a mental health practitioner and an academic. Peer trainers are people with lived experience of mental health problems who are have been recruited and are supported by the local Recovery College which is an established initiative involving a partnership of the health service providers and service user organisations. The programme content draws on an adapted version of the Resilience Framework (Hart et al 2007) and a range of other resilience tools and models alongside the personal, practice and research expertise of the facilitators. It aims to increase participants' resilience to respond on an individual and collective basis to the adversities they face using internal and external resources and supports. The Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the principle funder of the Peer Trainer and mental health practitioner time and course resources. The University of Brighton has funded the time of the academic staff input. 
Type Health and Social Care Services
Current Stage Of Development Late clinical evaluation
Year Development Stage Completed 2015
Development Status Under active development/distribution
Impact The 8 week course has now been run a total of 5 times across 2 sites attended by approximately 50 people with mental health problems. Initial evaluation (from rating scales and interviews) suggests participants gained both an increased understanding of resilience and capacity to make resilience 'moves' in response to challenges related to mental health problems. The Peer Trainers - who are involved in other Recovery College courses - have also reported the level of collaboration in design and delivery to be of a 'gold standard' setting a bench mark for other courses. The collaboration has also developed the research capacity of the Peer Trainers who were very valued active participants in the first research conference/event that they had ever attended - The Imagine Project conference/workshops in Huddersfield 2015.

not simply to engage with marginalised publics or to communicate research findings
beyond our usual audiences. Rather it includes non-academics as active participants
and partners in the research process. In doing so, it seeks to tap into non-academic
forms of expertise, to develop new perspectives and approaches, and to produce an

Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 25 people about her research into Applied Theatre projects, the Academic Resilience Approach (ARA) (Hart and Williams, 2014) and mental health care provision for children and young people in schools, which led her to examine the potential of Applied Theatre practices to create opportunities for relational resilience and to support young people to understand and address their own issues and concerns in secondary schools. The speaker hopes that such projects will be part of long-term social investment in schools, teachers and children. The session gave a brief definition of Applied Theatre and its connection through a social inclusion perspective with the ARA. Drawing on the theory and practice of Paulo Freire, contemporary theatre projects - 'Brainstorm' and 'The Happiness Project', and practical drama schemes of work, the session highlighted the potential (and problems) for projects in secondary schools from Helen's experiences as a drama practitioner. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Blackpool, another a PhD student from Brazil. Slides are available from the Boingboing website.

Drawing on their own experiences in co-productive research, as well as the experiences of those attending the session, they discussed ways in which individuals and communities can be supported to make 'resilient moves' aimed at transforming not just individuals but also the communities, organisations and environments in which we all live and work.

Results and Impact This Forum focussed on Lancashire Mind's universal resilience programme: Bounce Forward, that has been running in Blackpool schools for the past 3 years as part of the HeadStart programme that the Centre of Resilience for Social Justice is leading. The programme is a universal, preventative project run for 10-weeks in primary schools to whole classes with teaching staff also being engaged. It embeds Boingboing's Resilience Framework used across Blackpool and aims to equip the children and young people with practical strategies they can use when times get tough. It's unique in that the programme is fully co-produced with children and young people through YPEG (Young People's Executive Group) in Blackpool. The presentation provided the audience with information about the Bounce Forward programme, its development and sustainability in Blackpool and its future both in Blackpool and Lancashire. It was also a chance for the audience to see the programme in action and a chance to celebrate the achievements we have made and continue to make. A question and answer section took place at the end, followed by a more informal discussion and networking session for anybody interested. People signed up to the mailing list to hear about future events and outputs. People who couldn't attend were able to download the presentation slides from the website.

Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speakers presented to a mixed audience of 42 people about their 'Building Resilience for Wellbeing and Recovery' course, which was co-developed by peer trainers, practitioners and an academic. Peer trainers are people with lived experience of mental health problems trained as tutors by a mental health Recovery College - in this case 'The Sussex Recovery College'. Mental health Recovery Colleges use an educative approach to addressing mental health challenges - aiming to empower people in a non-stigmatising way. They used the Resilience Framework and their personal, practice and research expertise to design the 8 session long course. It aimed to increase people's resilience to respond to mental health challenges using people's inner strengths and support around them. In line with a social justice approach to resilience the course emphasised that there are some adversities (such as stigma and discrimination towards people with mental health problems) that need to be challenged and not simply 'coped with'. Over 800 people have now completed the course which is in its 6th year, which has seen the development of a shorter 'online' version. This was in response to the challenges of COVID-19 but has potential for future use too. The session shared the speakers' experiences and evaluations - including of the advantages and disadavantages of the online version. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Singapore and one from India.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact This joint Centre of Resilience for Social Justice (CRSJ)/Boingboing Resilience Forum explored the process of co-producing a policy document around how young people could implement strategies and be aided at the political level, to be more resilient to drought.

The forum was about our GCRF project on 'Patterns of resilience to drought' and how this project supported the application of youth voices in relation to drought in South Africa. This is an extremely important issue and of great relevance to the ODA.

The presenters spoke about three topics during this forum: the co-productive methods used in the project; the findings of the research, which reflected how the young South African co-researchers defined drought severity; finally, what additional support would be useful for young people living in drought conditions. They shared the co-produced policy brief and film, using this as a springboard to discuss the implications for future policy and research.

The attendees also got the opportunity to try a co-research activity, to immerse themselves in the experience, which helped to showcase our work to a wider political audience.

Results and Impact In June 2018 a group of academic researchers from Sheffield and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), and representatives from the Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO) and the Children's Society met to introduce each other and share some sandwiches and ideas. A second meeting was then organised by GMCVO in September 2018, which provided an opportunity to find out more about GMCVO's Talent Match programme. Here we were joined by people from Manchester Museum, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Greater Manchester Youth Network. On 11th January, the group met for a third time, with the intention of sharing practices, networks and ideas. The range of participants again expanded, with people from Barnados, Blaze, Reclaim, and the Canal & Rivers Trust. MMU provided a venue, stepping in when the Children's Society's office relocation prevented them co-hosting. The session was lightly structured, with facilitation shared between Beth, Kate, and Jo Hunt, GM Area Manager for the Children's Society. We exchanged a variety of lessons learned, as those present shared reflections on their experience of and interests in co-production with young people.

Results and Impact This blog introduces the work of an autistic Early Career Researcher based at the Centre of Resilience for Social Justice, University of Brighton. In the past, academic researchers would talk about autistic impairments in social communication: they used to believe that autistic people weren't able to communicate very well in that way. But now we understand much better that this isn't really a very fair way of seeing things. Difficulties in communication that can happen between autistic and non-autistic speakers are the responsibility of non-autistic people just as much as autistic people because communication is a two-way street. Her PhD work explored this, and thought about why these communication breakdowns might be happening.

These may lead to "turning points" where a small shift (ie a small "resilient move") in one area of a person's life can produce bigger positive changes in other areas. The presentation was followed by a Q&A. Slides and a blog post about the session are available from the Boingboing website.

Everyone in our global community is facing major challenges because of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. So, it's not surprising that lots of people have been in touch with us for ideas about how best to build or promote resilience. This blog explains how our community is responding to the coronavirus crisis. What we've been up to, some tips on supporting people's resilience, a reminder to think of those facing the most disadvantage and an outline of what you can expect from us in the coming weeks and months.

Results and Impact The poor job security and low wages faced by many young workers was already a concern for us even before the coronavirus pandemic, which is why we set up our wages campaign - 'same pay for the same day'. Together with 7 other young members of the Resilience Revolution, Danielle and Adam surveyed over 400 young people in Blackpool to get their views on employment. The survey revealed that even when coronavirus wasn't a concern, two fifths of young people felt they were underpaid, a third weren't earning enough money to live on and virtually none were getting paid overtime. Inspired by these insights, the campaign team set out five ways to improve things. Now, in the context of coronavirus, the need for the real Living Wage is becoming even more apparent as the crisis shines a light on the inadequacy of key workers' wages. As we stand on our doorsteps clapping for the NHS, we find ourselves wondering how many of the millions of people clapping with us are aware that so many care workers' wages don't even meet the daily costs of living? This blog explains that supporting the campaign for a real Living Wage offers us one way to show appreciation for key workers that has the potential to make a genuine difference in people's lives for years to come.

Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 30 people, his findings that a considerable amount of mental distress work is undertaken in organizations and services in our communities and are not rationalised as mental health interventions. The session explored the transformation of mental distress from the exotic unknowable requiring technologies of government and self, available only through Psy practitioners, to a fundamentally social feature of modern living, drawing upon a number of empirical case studies around the UK where opportunities, comfort, a sense of meaning and social support are facilitated for suffering people in a way that statutory and biomedical services find difficult, where environments are presented that provide experiences of help, identity transformation and community without waiting behind a glass partition. Carl suggested a need to step outside the statutory and community institutions of mainstream mental health to explore the ways in which the amelioration of suffering can meaningfully occur through alternative social contexts and community arenas. The presentation was followed by a Q&A. The slides and a blog post about the session are available from the Boingboing website.

Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 37 students (of all ages), educators, carers, academics, community workers, policy makers and others with a passion to see individuals with a disability succeed in education. Through lively discussion, this session explored findings from "Arriving at Thriving: Learning from Disabled students to ensure access for all", a report by Policy Connect and the Higher Education Commission (October, 2020). This report arose from a public inquiry into the experiences of disabled students in higher education (i.e. college, university, etc.). It makes clear that current supports are not working as well as they could, and recommends that those with disabilities be involved in seeing things change. This session was co-produced with the author of the report (Megan Hector), and one of its contributors (Mirika Flegg). Megan shared some of the findings and offered some information around submitting to inquiries. Mirika spoke about her own experiences of disability and education, and explored the links between activism and resilience. Speakers and audience collectively discussed what a unified disability support pathway across ALL LEVELS of education may look like, a very timely discussion. On December 22, 2020, the Women and Equalities Committee released its "Fourth report: Unequal impact? Coronavirus, disability and access to services". It highlighted systematic challenges with SEND provision and called for a complete restructuring of educational supports. The government's forthcoming National Strategy for Disabled People is expected to spell out details. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Brazil, and one from Singapore.

Acknowledging the tireless work by schools in exceptional circumstances, she stresses the importance of avoiding enlarging an already unacceptable attainment gap for disadvantaged children. We need to understand that everyone is doing the best they can in extraordinary circumstances, and recognise that we can't tackle this in one bite. We also need to appreciate that vulnerable young people face bigger risks than their peers as a result of this crisis. We have been connecting with discussions nationally, so that we can collectively make sense of the current situation, in order to better intervene. This means continuing to support schools virtually, as they adapt their present provision, or plan for future reopening and issues they may face at that time.

Of the 81 people attending, the majority (42) were from community organisations and 39 were from universities (five of whom were international partners/advisors from Germany, Greece and USA). Community partners shared information about their research activities and involvement in project. The conference comprised presentations, discussion, interactive exercises and workshops. There was an exhibition and display area of community projects which included publications, pieces of art, photos, posters and films. The community radio station from Hillfields in Coventry (HillzFM) set up an online radio station.

Sue Hyatt (Indiana University - Purdue University, Indianapolis) gave an informative and engaging keynote, drawing on her research in the North of England, in Yorkshire and Tyneside, in the 1980s. Sue directly engaged with delegates by asking them to answer a series of questions entitled Activism Allowed. The audience were positively engaged and enthusiastic about activism in relation to the Imagine project and connecting communities.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact The exhibition questioned what Hillfields is, has been and thus might be; whose visions have shaped the space and community; how city and community visions may collide; and the need to create a methodology and mechanisms for policy discussion at a community level.

We made links to local schools and the local college through encouraging teacher visiting. We organised that City College Coventry exhibited the Masterji, Tilley and Blakemore prints until Christmas to extend the exhibition. This meant local schools and college students benefited because they could see the exhibition - for example, the local secondary school studied Hillfields in geography, so the visit to the college would have been very useful historical information.

A few photographers came because of the photographers involved. Council officers, including the Deputy Director of Planning, visited. We also received visits from the executive bid committee for the Coventry bid to be 2021 city of culture, including councillors and the chief exec, Andrew Dixon. Whilst he was chatting to me, Andrew called Martin Reeve, the City chief exec, to tell him to visit 'this amazing exhibition'. . Local community development team visited, using it to connect with visiting locals.

3rd sector - WATCH recorded some interviews for us as part of our funded agreement with them. These were broadcast on local radio. Love Coventry, a furniture charity, donated sofas, tables etc for the duration. St. Peter's Centre in Hillfields also extended the exhibition outside their community library.

We have now exhibited Blakemore and Masterji pictures at Warwick Business School at the university to promote the Coventry 2021 bid. This is through Prof. Jonothan Neelands. You can see some images on my twitter feed @kyneswood.

Other impact - the story of Mohan, which is on the website imaginehillfields.org, is inspirational.

This takes you to a pdf of the book we produced: http://www.kyneswood.com/Imagine_Coventry/?page_id=339 . You can save as with right click.

Finally, you can see on @imagine_hill the images and interactions we had. Sum all software calculated a 500,000 twitter accounts reach during the exhibition, which shows interest.

The event brought together academics, policymakers, practitioners and members of local community organisations to take a long view of civic participation in their localities.

The impact was significant in that it showed the potential of communities and universities working together. A member of a local community organization commented: 'Attending this conference is building my confidence and how I can apply the learning in my own community'.

Patrick Harman, of the Hayden-Harman Foundation, spent four months as a Fulbright Scholar with Imagine NE. He commented:
'My participation in the Imagine workshops and the Imagine-sponsored meeting with the Department of Communities and Local Government has made an impact on my work in two respects. The first is my recognition of the importance of infrastructure organizations in supporting the work of charitable organizations. This recognition has led to our Foundation giving a grant to our local infrastructure organization. The second is an appreciation of the power of partnerships. Presentations from these events demonstrated the impacts that collaborations can produce. Consequently, I have been having planning meetings with a local community development financial institution to spur the development of urban agriculture micro enterprises in the neighborhoods where our Foundation works'.

Results and Impact The workshop "Community Development in Benwell & the West End of Newcastle:From the National Community Development Project to 'Our Place' and Beyond" was attended by 52 people (from academic, policy and practice backgrounds). A report on the workshop has been produced and shared online.

The aim of the workshop was to re-examine the achievements and challenges of the Benwell Community Development Project (CDP) of the 1970s, and consider the legacies and lessons for community development and engagement today. Sarah Banks (Principal Investigator of Imagine North East) opened the workshop with an introduction to Imagine North East, followed by an overview of the National Community Development Project of which Benwell CDP was one of twelve CDP projects in the 1970s.

Highlights included hearing the perspectives of former Benwell CDP workers, how the CDP imagined the future and looking at the past and present of Benwell. We also heard critical perspectives from local community organisations and viewed a short film extract from 'Hopes and Fears' - a film made for Imagine North East by young people involved in the Patchwork Youth project in Benwell.

I think perspective was particularly useful. My role is very here and now, with a heavy dose of future strategy. But I always like to understand what came before, lest we fail to learn and repeat it...it also gave me a deeper insight into some of the personalities and issues that have been around for a while. The project came at a particularly useful time for me as I try to lead our work on tackling deprivation. (Deputy Chief Executive, N. Tyneside Council)

Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No

Primary Audience Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact The speakers, who were people with learning disabilities and autism themselves, community practitioners and academics, presented to a mixed audience of 76 people about about what can and should be done to achieve positive impact on the inclusion of people with learning disabilities and autism in research. Those of us who are people with learning disabilities and autism are often left out of research because researchers may feel that finding and involving us can present additional challenges in terms of time, adapting materials and finding creative ways of working. When we are included, this is largely as research participants or 'subjects' rather than co-researchers - fully involved in all aspects of the research. We know from existing research that most of us with learning disabilities and autism face major disadvantages and social exclusion and Covid 19 has exacerbated this. Research on health and other inequalities largely leaves us out. This in itself continues the cycle of exclusion from research. There is a growing movement in academia of undertaking more co-productive research and University of Brighton's Centre of Resilience for Social Justice is taking an active role in promoting this. We believe that those of us with learning disabilities and autism should be included in research more, both as participants and co-researchers and that creative ways need to be found to do this. Such inclusion is fundamentally important and this is not just about our quality of life 'luxuries' but fundamental to mental health and to good research. To achieve this, we need change across the whole system - a change in mindset of researchers but also Research Council and other funders' systems change in funding allocations and assessment of equality impact of their funding decisions. The presenters showed a co-produced short animation about including people with learning disabilties and autism in research, and facilitated small group discussions in break out rooms to address questions such as 'what can research councils do differently to increase inclusion?' The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from India, and several attendees were from the UKRI (including the AHRC, MRC, STFC, ESRC, and NDTi), Learning Disability England, various universities and a journal editor.

Results and Impact Three of us (Sarah Banks, Andrea Armstrong and Gary Craig) were invited to do a plenary at the History of Youth and Community Work Conference on Saturday 14 March 2015. The conference was held at Hinsley Hall in Leeds and our title was 'Lessons and Legacies of the Community Development Projects of the 1970s: Revisiting Benwell, 1972 to 2015'. We drew on recent interviews with residents, community activists, community workers, former CDP workers, politicians and other policymakers to identify and discuss a range of perspectives on the tangible and intangible legacies of Benwell CDP. We showed some short films made in the 1970s, and Gary Craig (who was a former community worker with the Benwell CDP) offered his reflections 40 years on.
In discussions afterwards, many remarked how influential the CDP publications have been in training and education. Indeed, in his latest book, Analysing Community Work: Theory and Practice, Keith Popple (who introduced the plenary) said,
'[The NCDP] was one of the most important and defining initiatives in the evolution of British community development.' (Popple, 2015, p. 34)

The plenary sparked a lot of renewed interest in the CDPs and there were discussions about further conferences

They were seeking views on the importance of building character and resilience in young people, and invited examples of good practice across educational settings. The Centre of Resilience for Social Justice at the University of Brighton, together with Boingboing, prepared a joint response to Questions 10-16 of the consultation, providing examples of projects we are involved in, and other resilience-building initiatives that we know of. We also explained why we felt that their definition of 'character' was problematic, including that it is overly reductive and simplistic, risks 'responsibilising' the individual, and fails to acknowledge the important roles of family, school and the wider community in supporting young people's resilience. The full response could be downloaded from the blog and was submitted to the DfE consultation.

It was a fitting location for about two hundred historians - from universities, galleries, libraries, archives, museums and community groups - to discuss the public utility and impact of History as a discipline. In 2011 an earthquake in Christchurch caused severe damage to the city and killed 185 people. The physical and emotional legacies are still clear and many delegates at the conference were affected in personal and professional capacities. Such events raised the question that underpinned the theme of the conference: What role is there for History as a discipline for engaging with issues that affect communities in the here and now?

Results and Impact The speakers presented to a mixed audience of 58 people about what inspires their patient and public involvement (PPI) work and passion for co-production in health and social care. Covid-19 has impacted many aspects of our lives including the timing of and access to health and care services. This can be especially important when you or a family member has ongoing needs and/or a 'long-term condition'. Learning to cope often makes you an expert by experience yet 'the system' can still seem to work against you as history illustrates. In February 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care published a White Paper Integration and Innovation: working together to improve health and social care for all but it has attracted criticism for its failure to articulate a meaningful role for patients, (Patients-association.org.uk). A brief overview of Debbie's PhD findings (pre-pandemic) were followed by examples from Jessie's work at Traverse Ltd during the pandemic. Then, there was an opportunity to discuss what matters in the post Covid era and what is valued in community engagement for deciding on and leading services. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.

Results and Impact This Forum focussed on the impact of the armed conflict in Turkey on different segments of society. This includes children and families living in the middle of the conflict zone as well as 'Academics for Peace' signing a petition to call on the government to stop violence towards civilians and facing various forms of adversity as a result. Despite all the oppression, threats and violence, the context of the Turkish-Kurdish Conflict provides a fascinating case for resilience. Both civilians living in the region and the 'Academics for Peace' have been challenging the odds, resisting, and collectively supporting each other.

The speaker presented findings from her research carried out in the conflict zone, focussing on the lived experiences of children and families as well as the repercussions of the armed conflict in a broader context including the academia in Turkey. She used Boingboing's Resilience Framework to reframe the situation from a resilience perspective through social-justice oriented and system-focused lenses. Participants were invited to discuss what works, what does not work, and what else can be done in a context of ethnic violence and armed conflict.

The session was followed by a more informal discussion and networking session for anybody interested. People signed up to the mailing list to hear about future events and outputs. People who couldn't attend were able to download the presentation slides from the website.

Equipping and empowering all who come into contact with young people in feeling confident in having a good conversation around resilient moves can make a huge difference to their mental health. The speakers introduced free resources that have been partly inspired by The Resilience Framework and produced by clinicians and non-clinicians who have grass-roots experience of working with children from deprived backgrounds with multiple ACEs. This incuded the Tough Times Toolkit, The Lemonade Project Resource Book, the Life and Lemons Journal and more. These resources can help any adult (no matter what background) have great discussions around resilience and support young people who might slip through the mental healthcare gaps. Some of these resources are available to download for free. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Canada.

Results and Impact The session was lead by a psychologist, coach and mindfulness trainer, providing an interactive experiential introduction to mindfulness, giving a felt sense of how a mindfulness practice may bring a wide range of benefits from increasing self-awareness, to gaining a greater sense of control where people can respond to rather than react to situations. There was a focus on developing skills to feel more settled and how to calm a busy mind so as to gain a greater sense of peace and focus. How these skills and practices might contribute to developing a greater sense of personal resilience was also explored.

Results and Impact Data blitz presentation presented by Dr Buket Kara and Hannah Eaglestone at the Society for Research on Adolescence in New Orleans, 3-5th March 2022. The presentation was prepared jointly with colleagues from the University of Brighton and Blackpool Council. The presentation presented results deriving from the Moving on Up work of the Resilience Coaches (RCs) in Blackpool. Transition from primary to high school is a particularly challenging experience for young people (Zeedky et al., 2003), and therefore, successful transition is a crucial predictor of later wellbeing and academic outcomes (West et al., 2010). Aiming to support young people (YP) with their transition from primary school to high school, an intervention programme called Moving on Up (MoU) was implemented in Blackpool, one of the most socio-economically deprived towns in England. . The current study examined the changes in YP's resilience and mental health, as well as in achievement of the identified goals, before and after taking part in the MoU.
Overall, the findings suggested that the MoU is a useful intervention to promote resilience and improve mental health in YP, which could equip them for an easier transition to high school, with higher likelihood of settling in and less likelihood of dropping out. As well as work booklets for YP being produced, the programme can also be delivered in a group setting and supported by a free teacher guide. The results and its implication generated great interest and discussion in the audience, which resulted in networking opportunities and potential future collaborations.

It shares concerns regarding 'convenience over consciousness' in relation to digital choices and uses, the length of time it has taken us to realise how digital platforms and apps gather our personal information, and the degree to which our rights can be compromised. Due to our lack of attention to platform privacy statements and policies, technology companies have and continue to use our private information to, amongst other things, target us with ads, track us or survey us online.

Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach Regional
Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact With important insight into resilience building, the presenters spoke about the vision and practice of Brighton Table Tennis Club. With targeted sessions for looked after children, refugees including unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, people with learning disabilities and others, this is truly a 'club for everyone' but it is so much more than this. Members are encouraged to take responsibility and have ownership of the club, through being involved in decision making and by being supported to develop their table tennis, relationship and leadership skills, with many members qualifying as coaches. Our own Boingboing member and Arts Connect Ambassador, Harry Fairchild, has worked with the club to become the world's first qualified table tennis coach with Downs Syndrome. Many other members are benefiting from the club's ethos of inclusivity and promoting a real sense of belonging.

They talked about thinking about the club's activities through a resilience and 'changing the odds' lens, and how they came to realise the value of what the club does in promoting the 'ordinary magic' that is resilience, for some of the people with the biggest odds stacked against them. They outlined their vision for the club having a more explicit focus on resilience in the future, and what we can all learn from the importance of mastery and belonging.

A question and answer section took place at the end, followed by a more informal discussion and networking session for anybody interested. People signed up to the mailing list to hear about future events and outputs. People who couldn't attend were able to download the presentation slides from the website. The reach of the session was further extended by the addition of a short film from the session which people can watch on YouTube.

Results and Impact The speakers, including young people with learning disabilities and lived experience, presented to a mixed audience of 75 people about the construct of 'Mattering', which can be thought of as Belonging + Making a Difference. This session explored some of the literature on Mattering, Belonging and Making a Difference through the lens of co-production and social action, and how all of these link to resilience, showing the importance of Mattering for resilience. Some of us have more opportunities to matter than others, so the speakers also thought about Mattering from an inequalities perspective, exploring othering and its relation to mattering through the context of feelings and experiences. Finally, they discussed the implications of what we have learned about Mattering for our practice in working in a therapeutic way with young people, whether in one to one work, group co-production or participatory research. This interactive session combined theory and practice examples and concepts relevant to parents, support and engagement practitioners and managers, researchers and anyone who cares about thinking of all the ways we can help to build the resilience of young people and other community members, in which that transform the odds stacked against them. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Canada and another from the United States.

Through publicising the mental health guide and Boingboing's work on resilience we aimed to demystify resilience, promote Boingboing's social justice approach and provide all school staff with the tools to assist their students who are dealing with mental health issues, through a resilience-focus and without expecting teachers to become therapists.

The presentation was so well received that the staff at the venue have offered to maintain the relationship with Boingboing and have us present our work about resilience to their students.

Results and Impact The speakers presented to a mixed audience of 35 people about Project SEARCH, a unique programme that comes from Cincinnati in the US. It takes young people with learning disabilities in their last year of education and immerses them in a work setting. It ensures that there is no break for students between school and work, so that students do not become unemployed at any point, and are transitioned into the identity of a working person. Students are based in the workplace and as well as learning English and Maths they learn employability skills and go on work placements every day to prepare them for a real paid job. It has tremendous success rates and is something that is growing in popularity in the UK and Europe. Delegates were particularly interested in whether more programmes could be initiated in the UK and how, and staff from a different Project SEARCH were also in the audience and able to contribute during the Q&A. The slides are available from the Boingboing website and you can listen to a recording of the session online.

It brought people from a wide range of ages (11 to 70 years), occupations, lived experiences, and cities, together in a welcoming and inclusive environment. This three-day event was described as mind-blowing and inspiring by the adults attending. Specific feedback included:

- Judy, for instance, a school mental health advisor from East Sussex (who travelled ~300 miles up to Blackpool for the event), said 'from the moment I arrived, I experienced a very strong, 'together' community, committed to making a real change at all levels of local institutions'.
- Lynne, an educational psychologist and also 'an ageing cynic', expressed how inspired she was with 'young people's voice in Blackpool - loud and proud'.
- Teresa Smith (age 46), the BRGT 'has been an eye-opening experience to see just how many people are fighting for the Resilience Revolution and the support and passion around helping young people who are our Future.'

At the event, we had many visitors to our stand and this prompted a lot of questions and discussions about the work we had undertaken and how we could build on this going forward. The young people gave presentations and fully participated in showcasing the projects and taking about what they had learnt from being involved in the Connected Communities projects.

Requests to show our exhibition at other venues, marked improvement in the confidence and mental health capacities of the young people involved in the showcase. There may also be other impacts of which I am not aware.

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Third sector organisations
Results and Impact The international speaker presented to a mixed audience of 58 people to explore the topic of resilience within a biopsychosocioecological systemic approach. In particular, it focused on holistic interventions for children living in vulnerable contexts and facing adversity underlying how community enabling can foster resilience thanks to the role of the different formal and informal actors (children, youth, adults, families, social services, schools, service providers, NGO, ). After a short introduction to define a common theoretical framework starting from literature and research results, participants were facilitated in working collaboratively in small groups (breakout rooms) and as a whole group to share "their culture" about resilience and community work, and to co-build wider understanding on how they can take a step forward for their resilient moves. The facilitator integrated the use of different techniques and tools to help participants to gather into a "small community" and actively discuss, reflect and create together. Creative and playful techniques taken from sociodrama were combined with the use of Mural, an online platform enabling teams to think and collaborate visually and to work remotely on the same creative space. The participation of everybody was key to co-defining the take home messages as a group co-creation. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.

Primary Audience Undergraduate students
Results and Impact This Boingboing/Centre of Resilience for Social Justice Resilience Forum featured a group of artists who are studied on the Inclusive Arts Practice and Creative Media postgraduate degree course at the University of Brighton. They were asked to respond to the title 'Resilience' for one of the modules they undertook with tutor Julia Winckler.

Elaine Foster-Gandey produced five photographs printed on fabric that she embellished with words and embroidery for the theme 'Resilience'. The work showed images of the artist along with written narrative to accompany the photographs. Taking this work further into the final project on this module, she decided to take the 'Resilience' theme and work with two artists Michelle Steele and Maggie Rothwell. The assignment was re-named 'the sewing project'.

This work began with the visual narratives of the lives of the three female artists, post menopause, exploring the concepts of age and mortality. Each artist had recent experience of loss and subsequently bereavement became the thread running through the core of the project.Representation of mortality, ageing and parenthood in relation to resilience were discussed at length and attendees were able to immerse themselves in the art by way of exhibition.

This Forum was also chaired by two Boingboingers who had never done this before, affording them new responsibility and capability.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact It's time to 'Rethink the Nation', according to academics who organised a free event that is a collaboration between the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the University of Huddersfield and cultural partners at the Imperial War Museum North at Trafford Wharf Road, Manchester

They gathered a diverse range of expert speakers and performers for Rethinking the Nation, including bestselling author Joanne Harris, Michael Collins, one of the Coordinators of the UK-based human rights organisation Right To Remain, writer Irna Qureshi, MP and Shadow Minister for Communities and Local Government Liz McInnes and Projects Director for Opera North Dominic Gray, who featured alongside Bhangra dancers and a DJ set on a heritage hifi.

Part of a series that marks the tenth anniversary of the AHRC, entitled The Way We Live Now, the event was designed to pick up on questions about the nation we live in from people on the streets of Manchester and Huddersfield. Those questions were explored from the perspectives of politics, community, visitors and tourism, music and performance, literature and more.

"We hear and read about global migration every day and commentators have some clear ideas about how migration changes "We want to explore who we are as a nation, what this national community is that changes all the time. What do our arts and culture say about us? What influences do we draw on? What do visitors expect to find when they come here? How does our landscape affect who we are as a people? And what kind of community do we belong to? We think the best way to do that is to get questions from a wide range of people and have panellists from a number of perspectives respond to them. The event, in the Imperial War Museum North, combined music, dance, speech and images, explained Dr Matthews: "In the twenty-first century, competing nationalisms, the increasing mobility of populations and globalisation are causing us to rethink traditional ideas of nationhood. This was our chance to do that rethinking in an entertaining way."
The debate explored contemporary issues of national diversity, conflict and power in the context of changes to the idea of the 'nation'. Covering ground from war to dance and from music to democracy, it used discussion, interviews and live performances to help us think about the way we live now, with each other, and how we talk about our national lives, histories and cultures.
The debate was part of the AHRC Anniversary Debates on 'The Way We Live Now', which are exploring central aspects of our human world, the ways in which they are shaping our lives, and how the arts and humanities help us understand our changing world.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 40 people about women survivors of male partner violence, telling their stories of being constrained and disempowered in the violent spaces they resided. Through their stories of powerlessness, they show us the possibilities of achieving power and resilience. By hearing their resilient voices as coexisting with their voices of vulnerability, we are learning what it means to be a resistant and resilient body in a world which is "blocking rather than enabling action". In this session the speaker employed a feminist intersectionality framework and a constructionist discourse on resilience, to discuss women's subjective processes of struggling with, escaping, and healing from male partner violence in Turkey. She explored women's ways of 'taking control' of their lives and their efforts of seeking safety through their stories of both staying in violence and leaving. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Norway.

Results and Impact Poster presentation presented by Dr Barbara Mezes at the Society for Research on Adolescence in New Orleans, 3-5th March 2022. The poster was prepared jointly with colleagues from the University of Brighton and Blackpool Council. The poster presented results deriving from the Self-harm support work of the Resilience Coaches (RCs) in Blackpool, who offered personalised short-term support (8-12 weeks) for young people (aged 10-16) on waiting list for mental health services after presenting with self-harm or suicidal thoughts at the local hospital during out of office hours. Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; Goodman, 2001) and Goal Based Outcomes (GBOS; Law & Jacob, 2015) were collected before and after intervention to inform practice, e.g. identifying areas of difficulties, and for monitoring improvement in mental health and progress towards goals. At the end of support, YP reported significant improvements in their mental health, and being significantly closer to reaching their goals. Overall, the findings show that SHS is a useful intervention to promote resilience, reduce self-harm and improve mental health of YP, the implications for policies and services aiming at preventing or reducing self-harm in YP living in socioeconomically marginalised communities were especially interesting to attendees, generated discussions and resulted in networking opportunities and potential future collaborations. Copies of the Resilience Framework were distributed.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speakers, a co-research Team of young people and adults who share an ambition to improve the mental health of young people, presented to a mixed audience of 67 people about their research project. "We keep reading lots of reports saying youth mental health in the UK is getting worse, and that support available doesn't always work. We applied for and got some research money from the Medical Research Council (MRC), Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to expand our work in exploring other ways to improve our mental health. We wanted to know "Does getting involved in activism and campaigning benefit young people who face many disadvantages?". We thought this was a topic worth researching because we have experienced for ourselves the benefits of getting involved in these kind of projects, and also the changes we can achieve in systems that aren't very fair in the first place. We use the Boingboing approach to resilience to help us understand this, which we capture as 'beating the odds whilst also changing the odds'." In this session, attendees heard from youth and adult co-researchers from Blackpool, Newham and Cornwall and some of the researchers working alongside who are based at the University of Brighton and Queens University Belfast. They specifically talked about: 1) Their 'literature review' - what they found out about what others worldwide have already published on building young people's positive identities when they are facing many disadvantages. 2) What they found out by running social learning spaces that explored how through activism, young people are connecting with their communities' history (Blackpool); how young people are getting actively involved with their present communities (Newham), and how young people are actively contributing to their communities' future (Cornwall). 3) What their learning means for them, their communities, the services aiming to improve youth mental health and what they think needs further research (and especially research that is co-produced). The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Cyprus, Portugal, one from Italy and one from Sweden.

How have different societies in different periods thought about 'the future'? What role have different conceptions of the future played in confronting the problems of the present or reflecting on those of the past? What role does the future play in creating and connecting communities? How do narratives across past, present and future cohere? How do societies and communities use and construct utopias and other forms of anticipation to build agency and capacity for change? What impedes or enables these processes?

This two-day interdisciplinary symposium aimed to bring together researchers, Civil Society Organisations, NGOs and other groups concerned with questions of social and environmental change, humanitarian challenges, and community empowerment and participation, with philosophers, artists, historians, theorists, social scientists and other disciplines concerned with questions of temporality, futures and utopias.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speakers presented to a mixed audience of 11 people about some of the ways Resilience Revolution Blackpool is making a difference. Resilience Revolution Blackpool is a whole town approach to building resilience. The Resilience Revolution Blackpool use the motto 'beating the odds whilst changing the odds' which is adapted from Hart's definition of resilience 'Overcome adversity, whilst also potentially changing, or even dramatically transforming, (aspects of) that adversity' (Hart et al., 2016). The Resilience Revolution is shaped by 7 fundamental principles, one of these is research / evaluation. In order to evaluate the ways the Resilience Revolution Blackpool makes a difference to individuals, families, schools, organisations and the whole Blackpool community, co-leaders in the Resilience Revolution Blackpool used a tool called the Value Creation Framework (Wenger-Treyner, 2020). This is a tool that everyone can use - not just academics. This framework asked co-leaders to record what difference they were making and these records can then grow into value creation stories. These stories explain how different practices and pieces of work create value and change over time. This session shared some of the value creation stories representing the differences that the Resilience Revolution made during 2020-2021 across Blackpool. They also shared how they are using the Value Creation Framework as a practice and research tool. Thus, this session was also useful for organisations who want to embed a systematic way of capturing how they add value in their everyday work. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.

In the UK it's incredible to see calls for NHS volunteers to help the vulnerable far exceeding expectations. But vulnerabilities are not just physical, and the vulnerable are not just one group of people. Vulnerabilities can be complex, multifaceted, socially created and entwined with capabilities and strengths. While we scramble to mobilise support for some vulnerable groups, others are being overlooked. Charities that provide vital support are facing devastating cash crises, just as they are being called on by the Government to step up their support, but without any of the financial measures offered to businesses. This blog is a call to action to support local organisations, and think about connecting up with supporting efforts to combat the shocking effects of Covid-19 on people's lives in the Global South

Engaged further discussion with audience members and fellow panellists about the relevance of utopia for cultural practices.

While utopianism is often equated with idealism, ranging from the romantic to the authoritarian, it is also conversely seen to entail a certain fidelity to the real in the face of misguided ideologies of progress or versions of messianism.

Results and Impact The author attended days 1 (creating resilient school communities) and 3 (mental health) of The Big Resilience Get Together at Blackpool Sixth Form College, 30 July-1 August 2019, and wrote about her experience, describing it as a privilege to attend. School Resilience Committees are made up of 8 Young People in a primary or secondary school, and aim to promote a therapeutic approach to adversity, empower students to thrive, contribute and make changes, encourage and enable co-production, value pupil voice and promote diversity within the committee. Other young person-led topics included 'Friend for Life' project, where YP in the care system are matched with an adult friend; anti-bullying charters, and examples of resilient thinking in everyday practice. It was humbling to see YP taking the lead on so many levels across Blackpool's entire infrastructure, and 'holding their schools to account' to build resilience from the ground up and improve connectedness and systems as a result. Talking about these topics in an open forum helps to share best practice and there was a lot of discussion and questions.

Results and Impact Here in the CRSJ community, working closely with communitiy partners at Boingboing and the Resilience Revolution, we were delighted to see that The British Psychological Society adopted our definition of resilience in some of their recent work. This is a great development as psychological disciplines have long been criticised for focusing too heavily on the importance of individual characteristics - a critique also levelled at many definitions of resilience. Our definition moves away from seeing resilience as a quality of the individual, instead taking a wider systems view which sees people, communities and organisations as all central to resilience building. Furthermore, we see resilience as more than just beating the odds, but also changing the odds through systems change brought about by transformative practice, activism and employing an inequalities imagination.

Results and Impact Poster presentation presented by Katy Daniels (Digital Marketing Apprentice) supported by researchers from the University of Brighton and Blackpool Council at the Society for Research on Adolescence in New Orleans, 3-5th March 2022. The poster presented a constructivist thematic analysis of five case studies to evaluate the longitudinal practice development of different sections of Blackpool's children and families' workforce. These sections are: 1.Special Educational Needs Disability Workers (SEND), 2. School Workers, 3.Health and Social Care Workers, 4. Healthcare Practitioners 5.Voluntary/Charity/Faith workers. Documents, surveys, focus groups and interview data were collected over a 4-year period to track the development and use of new tools and approaches. These were evaluated alongside feedback from young people that were supported by the workforce in order to ascertain whether new practices are benefitting both workers and young people. Findings showed that the Resilience Framework (Hart et al., 2007) helped to create a shared language between practitioners and young people in schools and SEND, but this was not found in healthcare settings. The findings generated great interest and discussion and delegates expressed interest and took copies of the Resilience Framework.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 90 people about Identity Process Theory, a social psychological theory of how people construct and manage their identity as well as how they cope when their sense of identity is challenged. Identity resilience is conceptualized in Identity Process Theory as a relatively stable self-schema, akin to a trait. Identity resilience is said to be high when individuals perceive their identity to be characterized by a high overall combined rating of their self-efficacy, self-esteem, continuity and positive distinctiveness. It is thus conceptually different from the psychological construct of resilience. People reporting higher identity resilience respond more favorably to, and cope more effectively with, events and situations that question or threaten their identity. The aims of this session were: (1) to describe the concept of identity resilience and its association with psychological wellbeing and coping strategies, (2) to show how identity resilience can be measured in empirical research into psychological wellbeing and coping, (3) to outline two empirical studies using identity resilience which focused on gay men's coming out experiences and the psychological impact of COVID-19 risk in a general population sample, and (4) to discuss how feelings of identity resilience can be promoted in distinct populations. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from Poland, one from Norway, one from Turkey, one from Denmark and one from Egypt.

This project supported young people to map assets and resources available to them in schools and local communities with the aim of supporting positive wellbeing and building resilience. The team presented the findings and shared their learning.

2. Champion's Conferences - During the 2018/2019 academic year HeadStart Newham held three youth led conferences. These were planned, designed and run by young people for young people. Around 80 young people were involved in the conferences which covered a range of topics linked to resilience such as keeping safe, positive relationships and dealing with stress. The presenters will explore how co-production on this level can not only support the resilience of the young people attending the conferences but also those developing and delivering them.

A question and answer section took place at the end, followed by a more informal discussion and networking session for anybody interested. People signed up to the mailing list to hear about future events and outputs. People who couldn't attend were able to download the presentation slides from the website.

Results and Impact World renowned international resilience researcher came to speak to an audience of approx 150 people on working with children and adolescents from emotionally turbulent or physically dangerous backgrounds, presenting a strengths-focused, resistance-proof model that makes therapeutic interventions more effective and change more sustainable. The slides are available for free to anyone on the Boingboing website and people can view a video of the first part of the session online. The specific learning objectives were:
1. To understand how individuals and families with complex needs use "problem" behaviours to enhance their resilience and wellbeing when more socially acceptable solutions are not available;
2. To become familiar with 20 skills associated with a social ecological approach to individual and family intervention informed by research on resilience;
3. To develop strategies for working without resistance with hard-to-reach, culturally diverse children, adolescents, and their families;
4. To discuss ways services can be structured for children, youth and families that make resilience more likely to occur.

Results and Impact This was a workshop funded by the South African National research foundation aimed at educators and post graduate students. It aimed to encourage sharing of funds of knowledge to look at the potential of the 'Every Object Tells a Story' methodology in educational research. Drawing on ideas developed in the "Imagine' project on co-production, as well as findings from the 'Artists' Legacy' project, it showcased ways in which co-production of knowledge can contribute to equity and valuing diversity in the post Apartheid context of South Africa. This sparked discussion about ways of knowing and a plan to develop further activities involving re-positioning knowledge and expertise to re-do a Truth and Reconciliation programme but using these methodologies.

Results and Impact This was an International Research Symposium and Exhibition aimed at educational practitioners working at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa including those working directly with teachers in a number of communities including the Eastern Cape area, the province of KwaZulu Natal and other areas including post graduate students and teachers. It aimed to encourage people in the workshop to think about co-production, and drew on the 'Every object tells a story' methodology as well as research from the Imagine project, the Artists Legacy project and Language as Talisman. Questions included the nature of research evidence and an interest in co-production and the emerging findings of Imagine as re-positioning Knowledge in the context of community co-produced research. From this came a huge interest in object based work and work that drew on community funds of knowledge. A plan is being made to create a new research proposal which would attempt another Truth and Reconciliation project for South African educators drawing on these new research ideas, and co-production as a methodology.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact The speaker presented to a mixed audience of 60 people about their PhD research that examined young people's beliefs about new psychoactive drugs (sometimes called 'legal highs'). Responding to the concerns of young people in Sheffield, the research aimed to support the development of interventions to reduce young people's use of new psychoactive drugs. While the research took as a starting point traditional approaches to behaviour change that focus heavily on the individual, the speaker's previous work with Boingboing challenged her to consider a wider, less individualistic, perspective. In this session she used her research as a case study to look at how behaviour is presented in theory, drug policy and intervention guidelines, and what this means for how we understand who, or what, is responsible for behaviour change and resilience, and why it matters. The session looked at tensions between individual-level and ecological approaches to drug intervention, as well as illustrating how the speaker attempted to bring these perspectives together in her own work with young people. Although the session had a focus on theory, it was aimed at a wide audience, including fascinating insights from the young people who took part in the research. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. One delegate was from the United States.

Geographic Reach Regional
Primary Audience Third sector organisations
Results and Impact The purpose of this session was to outline the speaker's research on the relational resilience of young unaccompanied refugees in Norway and to open up for a discussion on how findings might resonate with and relate to the audience's experiences and understandings. The speaker has explored a group of young unaccompanied refugees' experiences with and reflections on different dimensions of psychosocial health and resilience. Data were derived through a combination of participant observation, semi-structured interviews and research workshops. Young unaccompanied refugees are considered particularly vulnerable and at increased risk of mental health problems because of their young age, potential trauma, separation from primary caregivers and integration challenges. While researchers are showing growing interest in the resilience of these young people, most research in Norway still primarily explores vulnerability and risk factors and often lacks the voices of the young people.

The session asked the following questions: How do young unaccompanied refugees actively engage in interpersonal relationships? What is the significance of these relationships in doing well following adversity? Participants described actively searching for help and support in order to do well. In addition, they showed concern for others and often described an explicit intention of helping. They engaged in relationships of mutual support and helped others through acts of kindness or social involvement. Nevertheless, the relationships were not only a source of happiness, safety and well-being, but could also be a source of pain and worry.

A question and answer section took place at the end, followed by a more informal discussion and networking session for anybody interested. People signed up to the mailing list to hear about future events and outputs. People who couldn't attend were able to download the presentation slides from the website.
