Training
Our training courses are grounded in our own experiences as researchers with an emphasis on participation, informality, and connecting with participants. All our training courses are developed by Empatika researchers and trainers, drawing on our learning and reflections, as well as international participatory practices.
Empatika's training courses range from the foundations of qualitative research to more advanced and specialized research skills and approaches.
While we prefer working face-to-face and believe in the additional benefits of this approach, we have extensive experience delivering online training for global teams and have developed effective and fun ways to accomplish this.
Our courses and workshops can be customized to the particular needs of each organization. Please contact us to design a program just for you.
