Workshops

Nature of the method: Qualitative Methods

Workshops are events or meetings lasting from a few hours to a few days, in which there is typically a mix of talks, presentations, and discussions and debates on a particular subject.

Workshops may be more or less highly structured and “scripted”: participants may be assigned specific detailed tasks, or left very much to their own devices.
