Summary of the Research Activities
The co-researching community, or collective, was formed through an open public call for
co-researchers to co-develop creative holistic learning-for-action orientated to just change.
​​
-
14 people participated during the outreach workshop phase.
-
7 people subsequently participated in the core co-researching workshop phase. Some co-researchers were involved in multiple workshops and others in just one.
-
Another 40 people participated in various public workshop events arising from the core researching phase.​​
​
4 outreach workshops, 4 core co-researching workshop & public workshop action were executed. See praxis trail diagram below (needs updating)

Geographical Reach
​The research journey took us around North West Clare, South West Galway, down to North Kerry, Ireland. It also linked in with a Popular Education organisation called the Ulex Project in Catalunya in North Spain

​​​Through the collective activities of all the people taking part in this research and the final analysis of the research, a collection of holistic resources for participating in social justice movement activism were co-produced. This research practice informed the purpose, content and shape of the website as a radical holistic learning-for-action platform relevant to the needs of activists of different backgrounds, experience and appraoch.

Action planning​​​​
An epoch of the community’s experiences was distilled from their collective research activities, that is:
People are yearning for community and connection to humans and nature, and want to live creative, loving, and flourishing lives. And they are yearning for collaborative effective strategies to claim power and bring about change that supports all the community of life.
​
In response to these life dreams and learning needs the website hedgespace.net was created from the collective voices and activities of the co-researching community.
It is an open-source public community learning resource, a research archive, and a cultural artefact. It is also a publicly accessible form of research publishing in keeping with the principles of PAR.
Collective Action can be uneven and fragmented in how it unfolds. Some social-ecological justice collectives and campaigns are very bounderied and defined. Often though, a high degree of people coming and going, showing up when and where they can be a common phenomenon even within more established social movement collectives.
A persons contribution to an organization, campaign or project can be like a seed that someone else may germinate, o which may get carried elsewhere and grow, or show up in unexpected places.
