 kshop:\n“Made By Mortals workshop will be an interactive guide through o
 ur approach and theory of change using an abridged version of our latest
  audio workshop STUCK as an exemplar. The workshop will explore:\n· How 
 we use participatory arts and the principles of coproduction to overcome
  some of the barriers and challenges underrepresented communities experi
 ence through ‘traditional’ research processes.\n· How and why we use fic
 tional characters\, co-creation techniques\, and centre lived experience
  knowledge alongside other capacities such as imagination\, care\, and h
 umour in our work.\n· How and why we make the work participatory and imm
 ersive in the way it is made and in the way it is consumed and how that 
 process brings about change and supports the mobilisation of research fi
 ndings.\n· How we have brought about real-world change\, including the p
 ersonal development of the marginalised communities and researchers invo
 lved\, as well as system and behavioural change within health and care p
 ractice\, strategy\, and policy.”\n\nCartwheel Arts Workshop:\nArts & We
