Workshop 3

The third workshop (Workshop 3) is a comparative case study based on locality. It tests the outcomes of Workshop 2 (Manchester) in other areas of Greater Manchester (i.e. Oldham, Bury, Rochdale). These groups and this workshop will a) test our hypothesis of building solidarity with (that includes academic group) within (diverse community groups) and between (all the previous groups), b) test the outcome of Workshop 2 in other localities, such as areas in Greater Manchester. It aims to triangulate and validate our findings of workshop 2. It also aims to ascertain if deprived localities such as Rochdale present a differing case to inner-city issues such as in Manchester.
