Linking participatory methodologies with people's realities : towards a common agenda.

Collection of papers drawn from experiences both in the 'north' and 'south' which were presented at a workshop to discuss different participatory methodologies, analyse the reasons for undertaking participatory research and action and the core concepts underpinning these different traditions. The ways in which these different approaches to participation deal with social justice, social and political change, social impact, power and empowerment are examined.
