This research focuses on advancing innovative citizen engagement methods – by drawing on insight and best practice globally, and by piloting innovative practice within Wales. This work explores how creative and visual methods, including creative participatory practices, such as collage-making and photography, can enhance collaborative governance by deepening dialogue and deliberation in policy-making. These methods provide communities with new ways to express lived experiences, articulate their aspirations and policy priorities, and engage meaningfully with governance structures, with the aim of increasing citizen involvement in rural policymaking.
