CoNNECT II

Exploring Story: Chaplaincy - Reflection - Research

An opportunity to connect and network with a particular focus around the use of case studies.

As with the first CoNNECT day we a looking to bring together practitioners, educators and researchers, and those involved in supporting, developing and providing chaplaincy and pastoral care across different contexts. The day is aimed at all those who are interested in understanding chaplaincy, developing practice across different contexts, and supporting chaplains through participatory research.

Chaplaincy is at heart relational. The day will share details of a Case Study project from the Netherland and the idea of ‘living human encounters’ which emerged from it. As a way of connecting our stories there will be opportunity to share and reflection on pastoral encounters getting a taste of case study research.

The final part of the day will be an optional session for those who would be interested in forming a steering group to develop ideas for a Case Study project and potential pilot research community within that.
