Carlos ends this talk by talking about the challenges of working with Participatory methods in his context. How many of these challenges have you noticed in your own work and to what extent do they manifest in the same ways Carlos has described? Have you come up with any innovative solutions to these potential barriers to participatory work?

While I haven't had the same challenges that Carlos has - given that his research is on a much, much larger scale than anything i've been involved in - I think the idea of this kind of work being time consuming resonates. It takes a lot of time to build the relationships and make the preparation work needed for PAR research and it can be hard to build that into planning time.
