I wish this were a poem of practices of participatory research

Abstract

The practices of participatory research (PPAR), as this collection eloquently demonstrates, have arisen in many parts of the world. This chapter is drawn from my own roots, that part of the PAR family tree which found its early expression in Tanzania between the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. These particular expressions joined with Latin American traditions and those from Asia and elsewhere and in turn nurtured the early International Participatory Research Network which was associated with the early International Council for Adult Education between 1976 and 1991.
