7.2. Communicative learning
In previous research on participation in EA, communicative learning has been exemplified by participants negotiating values and normative concepts, gaining insights into their own interests and the interests of others, and acquiring new strategies for communication (Diduck and Mitchell, 2003; Sims and Sinclair, 2008). The participants in Kenyan SEA cited examples of acquired insights into intra- and inter-community relationships, the importance of information sharing, and the identified need to work together to achieve goals (Table 2). Seventeen of 27 community interviewees, all of whom were participants in the KCDP consultations, identified examples of communicative learning.
