Welcome to ALARA

Welcome to the home of ALARA - the Action Learning, Action Research Association. Action research seeks understanding and change. It works with those who live and work in a situation, supporting their inquiry and action. The Congress is an international gathering that brings together novices and experienced people to share their learning, their questions, their struggles and their achievements.
