Our experience of "taking the leap" to learn these techniques,
and then to build up our repertoire later, is very much in the

"A wonderful book! I have already begun using some exercises both in
the classroom and in my community development practice.

A true strength of Participatory Planning for Action is its authors' ability
to present an understandable, easily usable, and effective collection of
community development tools that can be applied in a variety of
classroom and community situations" - Prof. Gurpreet Malhotra,
Community Worker Program, School of Community Services, Sheridan
College

"A priority for most union leaders is "reconnecting with the
membership". Participatory processes, such as those described
in Participatory Planning for Action, are essential to
membership- focused internal organizing programs.

Participatory Planning for Action provides a clear overall
approach and a great collection of participatory exercises. It
can help labour educators draw on the vast experience of union
activists for rebuilding the movement. - Rob Fairley, Educator
and Consultant to Unions, Past President CUPE Local One
