Methods
As part of our commitment to public engagement, the PSE has sought to create a model or process to connect low income communities with PSE research, to amplify their voices by linking their local experiences to a national research project and to share their findings via digital media tools, such as the PSE website.
This working paper describes an experimental collaboration between members of the Poverty and Social Exclusion project (PSE), the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland (CFNI) and communities from some of the most deprived wards in Northern Ireland taking part in CFNI's Communities in Action programme.
