Dated: March 2019
Authors: Daniel Buckles , Jacques M. Chevalier
This handbook is available in English, French and Spanish. It is an integrated collection of skillful means to engage people and
mobilize evidence in complex settings involving multiple stakeholders. It draws
inspiration from different disciplines, theoretical perspectives and methodological
approaches. Fully participatory and flexible, the techniques and underlying ideas are
accessible to beginners and will provide experienced researchers and facilitators with
a new approach to educational, workplace, community and public engagement.
People in the voluntary, academic, private and government sectors are using them
for community-based action-inquiry and research, project or programme planning
and evaluation, organizational learning and problem solving on all scales.
