Please suggest 'methods' you have used to involve people in research

All I wanted to do was to get a cross section of people per each team e.g Researchers , Academics , Public and Patient contributors plus and ,most important people from diverse backgrounds and not necessarily ,people who may not have been part of any research group before . The teams who are not in competition will choose a topic preferably initiated by the person from the diverse background. The teams would discuss and devise a method whereby people can be included in the research and feel that they are pivitol to the research .The teams then get together to learn from each other.
It is important that the language is easily understood by all members of the teams. At the end of the day the idea of this group is to develop a template of how to develop inclusive groups.
I realise that this is my viewpoint and is simplistic but it is a point of discussion .

Before we stood on street corners listening to anyone who would talk with us for 5 minutes, local representatives had told us that residents would not engage with us unless they joined us because of our outsider status.  But the majority of people stopped and spoke with us in the street.

In this particular project we concluded that being independent and not affiliated to any organisation was beneficial: we were able to speak to a wide range of people with different lifestyles and views.

Some told us how great the community centre was, others told us how it outpriced those on benefits and catered only for white British people.

We were able to listen to an ardent Conservative and members of the newly formed Residents Party battling against the Conservatives and the Labour/UKIP coalition.

We were able to listen to local drug users as well as those who lamented drug dealing and saw drug dealing and use as integral to the area's decline as a community space.

These conversations on the same day and at the same location with people from different walks of life and different views and values were made possible in part by our 'outsider' status. We were trusted as independent and impartial, able to respect and value whatever people wanted to share about their neighbourhood and the community therein.
Would this have been possible if we'd had community organisation representatives or local councillors by our sides?

Drawing on seven integrated design principles, the World Café methodology is a simple, effective, and flexible format for hosting large group dialogue. Each element of the method has a specific purpose and corresponds to one or more of the design principles.

World Café can be modified to meet a wide variety of needs. Specifics of context, numbers, purpose, location, and other circumstances are factored into each event's unique invitation, design, and question choice, but the following five components comprise the basic model:

1) Setting: Create a "special" environment, most often modeled after a café, i.e. small round tables covered with a checkered or white linen tablecloth, butcher block paper, colored pens, a vase of flowers, and optional "talking stick" item. There should be four chairs at each table (optimally) - and no more than five.

2) Welcome and Introduction: The host begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the World Café process, setting the context, sharing the Cafe Etiquette, and putting participants at ease.

3) Small-Group Rounds: The process begins with the first of three or more twenty-minute rounds of conversation for small groups of four (five maximum) people seated around a table. At the end of the twenty minutes, each member of the group moves to a different new table. They may or may not choose to leave one person as the "table host" for the next round, who welcomes the next group and briefly fills them in on what happened in the previous round.

4) Questions: each round is prefaced with a question specially crafted for the specific context and desired purpose of the World Café. The same questions can be used for more than one round, or they may build upon each other to focus the conversation or guide its direction.

5) Harvest: After the small groups (and/or in between rounds, as needed), individuals are invited to share insights or other results from their conversations with the rest of the large group. These results are reflected visually in a variety of ways, most often using graphic recording in the front of the room.

The basic process is simple and simple to learn, but complexities and nuances of context, numbers, question crafting and purpose can make it optimal to bring in an experienced host to help. Should that be the case, professional consulting services and senior hosts are available through World Cafe Services and we would be happy to talk with you about your needs.

In addition, there are many resources available for new World Cafe hosts, including a free hosting tool kit, World Cafe Signature Learning Programs, and subscription to the online Community Table, where the larger community of practice gathers to learn together.
