Contribute to Barefoot Guide 4: Exploring the real world of social change
The Barefoot Guide Connection is a global and local community of social change leaders and practitioners, from many countries, sharing diverse practices to deepen and develop approaches and initiatives to contribute to a changing world.
The Barefoot Guide Connection has its foundations in the on-going writing and publication of Barefoot Guides which focus on a variety of social change practices. They have been translated into several languages, e.g. Swahili, Chinese, Bahasa, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Vietnamese and Arabic. The guides gather stories, analyses, approaches and resources for interesting practice from around the globe. Each Barefoot Guide is written by a collective of practitioner writers and published in an illustrated format that is simple and lively. A typical Barefoot Guide is a practical, do-it yourself book or guide. It has a supporting website, with resources, exercises, readings etc, including tried and tested concepts, approaches and activities.
Barefoot Guide 4 focuses on “Exploring the Real Work of Social Change”. This will present and illustrate examples of multi-actor social change in different contexts, exploring not just the stories and activities, but digging deeply to discover what the practice and real work are.
