Autor Jeanne Hites Anderson, Maurine Pyleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2020
The aim of this book is to enable facilitators to identify concerns and address, enable and foster change at the local level through effective facilitation. This book follows a six-stage model for creating change. Beginning with issue awareness, it continues through getting to know the team they are working with, seeking information on the issue and community, through facilitating the planning and community development through evaluation. This book focuses on the human side of the change process while also teaching the practical skills necessary for individuals to reach their goal.
Making Change is for people interested in making change to improve their community, including students, community activists, local government and educational leaders.
