PARTNERS INTERCULTURAL PUBLICATION

In 2006 PARTNERS published a resource entitled Partners Intercultural Companion to Training for Transformation. This publication is a compilation of the exercises, processes, resources and reflections designed, developed or adapted by PARTNERS facilitators over a number of years. PARTNERS is presently developing a range of other development education/intercultural processes.

INTRODUCTORY COURSE TO
PARTNERS INTERCULTURAL COMPANION TO TRAINING FOR TRANSFORMATION

Partners offers an Introductory 2 day Course on Partners Intercultural Companion to Training for Transformation.

The Purpose
The purpose of this 2 day course is four-fold. It offers a number of opportunities:

• - An opportunity to learn about, become familiar with, and explore the thinking and principles behind the Companion.
• - An opportunity to experience exercises and processes you might use with others.
• - An opportunity to identify and prepare for ways in which you might use this resource in your context.
• - An opportunity to explore and reflect on how you have been shaped by your own culture.

The Process
The two days take the form of a highly participative, experiential, hands-on workshop with handouts and suggestions about resource material for developing ideas and options people may wish to pursue.

For whom is the course intended?
This course is of particular interest to anyone who works in formal or non-formal settings with groups involved in community development, community education, adult education, development education and overseas development. It will also be of interest to those whose lives or work situations involve a significant intercultural dimension.
