This film was made during a PRA training workshop in Zambia organised by the NGO World Vision. The first few days were classroom based, followed by a week in the field. The workshop concluded with a two-day session in which participants shared their experiences and the lessons they had learned. The DVD mixes shots of classroom training and field experiences with reflections from participants. The importance of attitudes and behaviour is emphasised throughout. Trainees came to realise the extent of villagersÆ knowledge and their own limitations.

Reports on two PRA exercises facilitated by World Vision Australia with World Vision Ethiopia in Tigray and Sa-Atusa, Ethiopia. The PRA focused on processes of change and empowerment in the two communities. The findings of a variety of methods - time lines and trends, seasonal calendars, maps, venn diagrams, transects, matrix ranking and semi-structured interviewing - are presented.
