Our approach has aimed to be as participatory as possible, acknowledging and learning about the many challenges and opportunities that this approach involves. We are inspired by the power of stories as a window on the world, and a mirror to see ourselves.

We are not naïve – we know that power dynamics are structural and that one modest project cannot overcome all of the challenges, but we hope to have shed further light on some of these.

Based on the premise of giving space to multiple ways and perspectives of accumulating knowledge, we have sought to decolonialise our ways of working and to listen, co-create and adapt our project design along the way.
