Open to (Unanticipated) Possibilities

About building an appetite for understanding external perspectives and experiences in a manner that allows you to put your own associations aside and empathise more deeply with others.

As a global network of teams operating in so many different local and international contexts, we are lucky to be able to tap into a wide range of observations and reflections on how our practice and impact keep evolving. Understanding how our work with clients and partners is gradually changing in a world where so much is in transition is an important part of our ‘reflective learning practice’.

The Reach network invited reflection, sharing, and connection through A Field Researcher’s “Guide” to Field Research–a collection of stories of decisions, pivots, and instincts that often go unnoticed, offering space to revisit and learn from them. Bringing together diverse perspectives sparks new insights, surfaces memories, and deepens understanding of ourselves as researchers. How can these shared stories continue to guide the way we work in the field?
