The resources below were developed by members of the Take Part Network, the Community Development Foundation and the Workers Educational Association.
These resources allow anybody working with community groups and citizens to expand their range of materials for Take Part, and help anyone less familiar with Take Part to gain a deeper understanding of the approach.
This is an evolving collection: we are continually adding new material. Please share your expertise by adding your own!
