El foro comunitario es una herramienta ampliamante utilizada por organizaciones de la sociedad civil, en ocasiones junto con las administraciones públicas. Como instrumento de acción, el foro comunitario ha sido objeto de escasa atención académica o científica. A pesar de ello, es posible identificar algunas características comunes: (1) es un encuentro que tiene lugar en una comunidad de personas, (2) la comunidad participa en su organización y desarrollo, (3) el asunto que se aborda es relevante para la comunidad, y (4) hay al menos una fase de exposición, una fase de discusión, y una fase de conclusiones. Este trabajo presenta un tipo de encuentro, denominado Foro Comunitario de Investigación (FCI). Se trata de una aplicación de foro comunitario, donde el asunto que se aborda son los resultados de una investigación. Con este cometido, el trabajo define el FCI, describe sus objetivos específicos, propone un esquema o método de realización, y ejemplifica su aplicación con un caso concreto.
While there has been increased attention to advocacy within counseling and counseling psychology, it has been noted that trainees generally feel unprepared to engage in advocacy and do not participant e in this type of work to a large extent, even with increased age or professional experience). The qualitative study summarizes the findings of a project within a graduate multicultural counseling course designed to increase trainee knowledge and confidence related to advocacy. This project required students (N = 19) to complete individual advocacy projects in the community, with opportunities for self-reflection and evaluation of their progress throughout the semester. Student reflection responses about the effects of this project were analyzed using methods from Grounded Theory by a collaborative research team. This process resulted in a core category of responses that included expanded definitions of advocacy, increased self-confidence regarding advocacy work, obstacles encountered, and reactions to the course assignment. Implications and future directions are discussed.
