For several years Partners Training for Transformation has been gathering and developing resources, and engaging in intercultural work and training with communities, organisations and groups in Ireland and elsewhere. This book is the fruit of our work and we are happy to offer it as a resource to others engaged in similar work.

It is a compilation of the exercises, processes resources and reflections designed, developed or adapted and used by facilitators over several years and draws mainly from the experience of PARTNERS' work in Ireland, Wales, England, Scotland and in a European Grundtvig Learning experience. It also draws on the experience of PARTNERS' facilitators who have been associated with Training for Transformation programmes in several African and Asian countries and with Concern America, who promote and are associated with Training for Transformation in Central and North America.

This publication will be 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.

The content includes exercises, processes, resources and reflections for topics such as understanding culture, identity and culture, racism, culture and communication, cultural values, development interventions, power, language and many other areas of intercultural work.

This resource book has been produced to add to what is already available in Partners’ companion to Training for Transformation (2001) and in the four Training for Transformation Handbooks, by Anne Hope and Sally Timmel (Training for Transformation Institute, Box 80 Kleinmond, 7195 South Africa; 1999). PARTNERS' INTERCULTURAL COMPANION TO TRAINING FOR TRANSFORMATION is available from the PARTNERS' office priced at €25.00 plus postage.
