Our Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project 'YOUNG CITIZENS PANEL' is starting right now in the city of #Maiduguri . Our goal is to track the politics of knowledge underpinning prosperity and peace using two rounds of panel meetings involving young people with an expert workshop in between

Our 'constructivist citizen labs' in #Niger ia , #Niger & #Chad are underpinned by constructivist principles, meaning they're not like normal workshops, seminars or world cafes where expert facilitators control the flow of ideas & reinforce 'banking models' of #knowledge generation

Our #constructivist citizen lab Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project is a #vehicle that allows us to use #activebrainstorming , #questioning , #visualising , #storytelling and #discoverylearning to assemble collective #wisdom and #knowledge the cross multiple #sectoral and #disciplinary domains

Our Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project constructivist citizen lab session has just started at the University of Maiduguri NIGERIA. This satisfies Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project goal of bringing together science, society & the state in a mutually beneficial way to #cocreate pathways of change for #LakeChad

We Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project are getting set to #advance our #constructivist #citizen #labs and #young citizen panel in Northeast #Nigeria where we hope to bring together science, society and the state to co-create meaningful pathways of change for the #LakeChad region. Watch this space!

🚨Newest on New SocArXiv Papers showcasing our Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project work on 'the nexus of climate and conflict in the Lake Chad region: what we know, don’t know and need to know' NRI

#climatesecurity
#LakeChad

Led a problem lab at York University Toronto last October during #CANSEE2023 and looking forward to incorporating lessons learnt into Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project knowledge exchange event in northeast Nigeria

Thermal discomfort is not just about 'heat' or 'climate'. It's also about human metabolic rate & clothing insulation. New work from Dr Uche Okpara & project team Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project provides 1st systematic analysis of the nexus of thermal discomfort & conflict in tropical drylands

Dr Uche Okpara discusses thermal discomfort - distress due to exposure to extreme hot/cold temperatures - and conflict in tropical dry lands basing on studies in the Lake Chad region of central & west Africa.
