Eat Walk Sleep Discuss: Building a Multi-Dimensional Participatory Relationship

Abstract

A multi-faceted relationship has developed between UMass Worcester and the Worcester Refugee Assistance Project (WRAP). The relationship has its roots in student engagement, and has grown to include faculty, students and community members in a range of community-based participatory activities, which can be shaped in response to needs as they are identified and defined. This poster describes the different ways student engagement and community partnerships worked together in a research project.
