Description
Participatory Practice: Community-based Action for Transformative Change
This book presents an innovative approach to practice that bridges the divide between theory and action. Ledwith and Springett argue that transformative change begins with understanding the stories of people's everyday lives, and that practical theory generated from these narratives is essential for informing policy and practice.
The authors' participatory paradigm considers how practitioners can critically examine their worldviews and situate their local practice within bigger social issues. The book is structured into two main sections, covering both theoretical foundations and practical skills. It will be of interest to academics and community-based practitioners alike.
