In 2001, to celebrate 20 years of working in Ireland, PARTNERS commissioned Maureen Sheehy to compile the first PARTNERS COMPANION TO TRAINING FOR TRANSFORMATION.
It is a compilation of the exercises, processes and methods designed and used by facilitators over many years and draws mainly from the experience of Partners workshops in the north and south of Ireland, and in Wales, England, and Scotland. It also draws on the experience of Partners' facilitators who have been associated with DELTA in East and Southern Africa, with KOGI and DELES in West Africa, with Training for Transformation in Pakistan, and with Concern America, who promote and are associated with Training for Transformation in Central and North America.
This publication will be of interest to anyone who works with groups in community development, community education, adult education, development education and overseas development in formal and non-formal settings.
The content includes exercises, processes and methods for topics such as: facilitation skills; adult learning; listening exercises; leadership; participation; power; roles, social analysis; community; dealing with conflict; culture; refugees; spirituality/soul-time and much more.
Partners' Companion has been produced to complement, rather than repeat, what is already available in the four Training for Transformation Handbooks, by Anne Hope and Sally Timmel (Training for Transformation Institute, Box 80 Kleinmond, 7195 South Africa; 1999).

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 publication has its origins in a series of conversations about economics between Partners and Community Action Network. Our collective experience was that while community development and community education helped people to become politically, socially and culturally aware and active, engagement with the subject of economics seemed to leave people feeling mystified and powerless.
We initiated a cooperative inquiry called Reclaiming Economics with the aim of creating processes and resources which would enable individuals, groups and communities to explore their own experience of, reflect on and creatively engage with the economic realities which are central to their own lives.
This publication results from this inquiry and is both a report and a resource. It is an account of what happened during the inquiry, the background thinking and the processes, exercises and resources designed for and during the inquiry.
