Workshops

Praxis’s longstanding expertise in training and capacity building is geared towards creative and effective strategies to implement participation as a key developmental tool. To this end, Praxis conducts several workshops, the flagship event being the annual International commune on participatory development called The Workshop.

TheWorkshop: An Annual International Praxis Commune on Participatory Development

This residential workshop acts as a forum for participants from across the world who come together for reflection and learning. It provides both, a theoretical understanding of participatory approaches/tools as well as the opportunity to apply them in the field. The ten-day programme includes general and specific module based theory, three days of field work in rural, peri-urban and urban field settings, as appropriate to the module content and finally a sharing, reflection and feedback session. The Workshop has attracted more than 1200 participants from over 30 countries; among them are policy makers, development professionals from INGOs, NGOs and CBOs, students and proactive individuals.
