Abstract:
Focusing on the transfer of participatory practices, the Service Point for Participatory Research (CaTSe) is a sub-project of Campus Transferale (CaT). In collaboration with local organizations, the center supports the expansion of participatory approaches in the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf (Berlin) and provides professional guidance to local actors in developing and implementing participatory methods. This work initiates and investigates methodological advancements aimed at promoting health and social equity at the local level.

The Service Point provides training to strengthen competencies for participatory collaboration and accompanies local actors throughout their participatory processes. Key outputs include refined methodologies and the development of innovative workshop formats. Training sessions are specifically designed for individuals in multiplier roles, ensuring the broad dissemination of participatory knowledge and skills.

The experiences and insights gained from the project are continuously integrated into national and international debates on participatory research, contributing to the broader discourse and the advancement of participatory practices.
