Welcome to Arts Gen’s eLearning! This is an online self-directed learning module series in community engaged practice. You’ll hear from artists and about Arts Gen’s recent projects. Through working with artists Arts Gen hopes this eLearning will provide a snippet of the variety, and vastness of creative practice as research in the context of community. This eLearning doesn’t seek to be the singular answer but hopes to open up some critical questions and some frameworks to work through when thinking about practice in community.
We are asking participants to register for modules to to better understand who is using this and to inform the development in the future. This project is a pilot model, if you have any thoughts or feedback for us please email arts.generator@cohealth.org.au

In this section, we'll look at what we can learn from the ‘artist as researcher’ model to create space for participant and community led research and evaluation, how community can build their own methodologies to develop and share knowledge, and the role an ‘artist as researcher’ could play in the design and development of community led programs.
