A Transformative Edge
Knowledge, Inspiration and Experiences for Educators of Adults
Production of this book was designed as a participatory process which itself turned into a journey of transformation. Originally conceived as a modest compendium of methods and theories favoured by team members and some interviewees, the book – in only a few months – expanded into a 400+ page celebration of transformative learning with over 40 contributors, including leading practitioners and researchers.
The book has 4 main sections:
- Competences: A summary of an earlier report in this project serves as an introduction.
- Theories: 34 different theories and models.
- Methods: 33 different methods.
- Your own event: This section is intended to support development and delivery of a Transformative Learning event.
