  11. Some Resources Print Resources:- In this presentation, I draw heavily from • Training for Transformation: a handbook for community workers – by Anne Hope and Sally Timmel • Another good book is; - Learning to Listen; Learning to Teach – by Jane Vella Online Resources: • http://www.catalystcentre.ca/Resources/bibliog.htm • This is a good bibliography of Pop ed resources – have a look around the rest of the Catalyst site as well. • http://www.highlandercenter.org • The Highlander Center in Tennessee has been a leader in Popular Education for over 75 years. It has been a centre for union organizing; civil rights; and more recently environmental and globalization organizers networking and training. • http://www.fao.org/participation/english_web_new/content_en/linked_Pages/PRA_overview.htm • A good quick summary of Participatory Rural Appraisal methods coming out of an inspired practice by Robert Chambers. This approach is now widely used around the world. • http://www.popednews.org/ • An interesting newsletter, although I’m not sure that it is being kept up-to-date.
