These guidelines can be varied and utilised in any type of group and practical guidelines to aid the successful management of any group.

RESOURCE MANUAL FOR FACILITATORS IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Volume 1 & 2
EDU MCA
MCARDLE: Jeremy
This Resource Manual has been designed by PEOPLE PROJECTS to support community workers in their work; it is designed as a resource manual for facilitators of the workshops it contains. At PEOPLE PROJECTS we have found that community workers, both paid and unpaid; trained and untrained, are "flying by the seat of their pants". In some areas they have a strong need for pratical skills development whilst others have developed their own excellent methods, though they lack a framework on which to pin their thinking.
