As part of the Community Connection Project’s partnership with More in Common as a learning partner, Community Link Workers recently came together for an in-person co-design workshop.

The session created space for practitioners to share their experience, reflect on what is emerging through their work with communities, and collectively shape a set of practical tools to support and capture their work on an ongoing basis.

These tools will help build a stronger evidence base for the project, one that is grounded in real-world practice and shaped by the insight, experience and leadership of Local Development Companies.

This approach reflects an important principle at the heart of the project: research and evaluation are strongest when they are informed by the people delivering change on the ground.
