Visualisation in Participatory Programmes: How to Facilitate and Visualise Participatory Group Processes

This manual has been written for the trained facilitator of group events. It is designed to reinforce concepts and techniques learned in training of facilitators and trainers in participatory group processes. VIPP is not wedded to a particular framework or academic discipline in problem solving, planning or training. Rather it is a set of tools that can be applied to just about any group process as long as the intention is to make such processes more participatory
and democratic.

This is a manual for facilitators and trainers involved in:

Planning and revising projects and programmes
Communication materials development and story-line planning
Putting research into action
Community-level development work, including PRA/PLA
Training workshops
Training of facilitators and trainers
Curricula development
Running conferences and information markets
Management, human-resource planning and team building
Business meetings

An invitation to all facilitators of group processes

The publishers of this website invite users to send in their experiences in applying VIPP. Best would be short descriptions of about 400 to 500 words with two or three good quality, digital photos which we can have the rights to use. Send captions and photo credits needed. It would help a great deal if both positive and negative experiences are included in your contributions.

You are also invited to discuss issues related to participatory VIPP processes at our Community of Practice, see below:
