How do we listen well to people in the communities where we live and work? How can we gain a deeper understanding of their key issues and challenges? And how do we apply what we’ve learned to our ministry, whether in the church or the marketplace? Join us as we bring a structured approach to these questions, drawing on biblical and theological reflection, case studies, and practical tools and strategies that apply to local and global contexts. This course is relevant for church leaders, cross-cultural workers, ministry personnel, organizational leaders, teachers, and students interested in exploring people-centred research methods.

This course has a maximum enrollment of 12 students.
