The aim of the Community Resilience in Cape Town (CORECT) Project was to conduct a study that would inform WCWC’s work to improve living conditions in communities, and for its members to learn how to do citizen science.
The project team used the powerful research tool Sensemaker, which is used to collect stories about people’s own experiences and problems. This process allows for making sense and understanding the collective experiences within the situational context and using the knowledge to inform action, decision-making and monitoring.
