Action outcomes and Workshops

Abstract

The action outcomes presented here, Play in the Terraces, the Skills Exchange, and the Parents Centre, emerged from the ALP learning programmes discussed in Chapter 3. Each has a very different character and has succeeded in involving a large number of people, retaining their commitment over an extended period, and creating a new kind of service based on principles of mutuality and self-help. They demonstrate the ALP approach to action, which is proactive rather than simply reactive, and is always preceded and accompanied by reflection.
