Rezumat	Visual elicitation oral history is a qualitative method that uses photographs, objects, maps, or other visual materials as prompts during oral history interviews. By placing a tangible visual anchor before the narrator, the researcher unlocks richer, more detailed memories and personal meanings than spoken questions alone typically produce. The approach merges John Collier Jr.'s photo-elicitation technique with oral history's commitment to capturing first-person lived experience across time.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
