Ndako·Ona follows a methodology wherein a group is constituted around a shared interest or preoccupation. Subsequently, each participant chooses a specific aspect of the subject that interests them to develop it throughout the project. The group meets periodically, to relate their readings and their findings, developments, doubts and questions and puts them to discussion. The objective is that the individual elaborations of the participants generate effects in their own professional praxis or collective actions.
Each participant is invited to produce a text that reflects their readings and deliberations throughout the investigative process. Some of these productions may be published in Ndako·Ona’s website or in another of the Association’s publications.
There are two modalities for constituting a research group: one of them entails that an existing group suggest a research topic to Ndako·Ona and the other, that people from different provenances adhere to a proposal made by Ndako·Ona. The coordinators are in charge of these spaces, of activating the groups and editing and publishing the final productions, if applicable.
The research projects have a maximum duration of a year, with monthly one and a half hour gatherings.
The total fee for the research project is to be paid within the deadline, before it begins.
