Network as an Instrument for Sterngthening Adult Education Movement
(Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 1987-07) Tandon, Rajesh
The last decade has been a significant one in modern human history in many ways. A large number of socio-economic and political problems facing humanity have surfaced dramatically: hunger, famine, illiteracy, war, apartheid, ecological degradation, exploitation of women, etc. The response of the World Community to these problems can be categorized in two broad streams. The first, more widespread and resource-packed response has been from the governments of the South and North, and inter-governmental institutions. This response has been largely inadequate in solving any of the above problems, despite backed by massive resources and large delivery mechanisms comprising of administrative frameworks and organizations,. The second response, more humble and sparse, less resourceful and visible, sporadic, interttent, has come from what has broadly come to be called the Non-govern-mental sector and teachers; individuals, groups, small organizations. These are students church and temple inspired philanthropists: grass-roots educators in villages and barrios; voluntary organizations, research and training institutions, individual activists, trade unionists, professionals (lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.) a whole range of ordinary people in our countries.
ASPBAE and Its Structure: Some Thoughts
(1987-12-01) Tandon, Rajesh
The thrust of the decisions taken last year was to decentralise both programming and management (including financial) activities within each of the four sub-regions of ASPBAE. Decisions were also taken to send to each sub-region directly funds on the basis of proposed programmes for the year. I am sure that other members who have directly handled the responsibility of programming and management at the sub-region level may be in a better position to indicate their experiences during the year. But my sense is that this attempt at decentralisation may perhaps lead to substantial and systematic separation and segregation of sub-regions from each other and weaken the purposes and identity of ASPBAE as a whole.
Understanding "Popular Participation"
(Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 0000) Jena, Nalin Ranjan
People's participation is becoming the central contemporary time. The political transition in issue of many countries, the collapse of many socialist regimes. the developing and worldwide emergence of people's organisations are a part of process of historic change rather than just isolated events. the the And these changes testify one discernible worldwide trend that people today are manifesting an increasing urge to participate in events the and process that shape their lives.

Inter-Professional Dialogue on Participatory Research and Participatory Developmet
(PRIA and ASSWI, 1995-04-19) PRIA; ASSWI
Inter-Professional Dialogue on Participatory Research and Development, 19-25 April, 1995 was organised by the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Social Work in India (ASSWI) on the premises of PRIA. This six-day programme was intended to orient the social work educators on people-centred, people-controlled development in India (and elsewhere) and Participatory Research through dialogical methods across professions. The dialogue was designed intra professionally. i.e. within the social work educators, and inter-professionally, i.e. between the educators and practitioners. The focus was not only to exchange learning but also to examine the implications of people-centred development and participatory research for social work education in India.

Report of the International Participatory Research Coordinators Meeting May 1-3,1985 Toronto Canada
(1985-05-01)
The long-planned for meeting of regional coordinators of the International Council for Adult Education's participatory research program took place May 1, 2 and 3, 1985 in Toronto sponsored by the ICAE and the Participatory Research Group, coordinators of the North American PR network. The last time we met as a full group was in 1982 in Mexico in conjunction with the first Latin American regional seminar on Participatory Research. Since then, different groupings of us have met informally when we happened to be attending the same meeting or seminar (Paris, 1982; Pozzuoli (Italy), 1984; Moscow, 1984). However, for some time now coordinators have stressed the need for a meeting where we could share and evaluate the regional and international aspects of our work, especially as we plan for the ICAE World Assembly in November 1985. What have been the achievements in the different regions? What problems are being encountered? How do different coordinators' envisage participatory research in their region? How do they see their role? What importance do we give to our international network? What should the priorities be for the next year? How can we make better use of the international links and possibilities we have?
