Relevant and accessible resources for practitioners

Praxis publications facilitate the exchange of ideas, learning and good practice in organisational capacity building. They provide a space for new and alternative voices by encouraging local practitioners and researchers to write up their learning and reflection.

The publications are relevant and accessible. Many are translated into Russian, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Farsi and Serbian. There are three types of resource:

Praxis Notes

Short commentaries written by practitioners describing practical experiences and lessons learnt which can help others to develop and apply better practice. (5-10 pages long).

Praxis Papers

Analytical papers linking theory to field research or lessons learnt from practical experiences (around 28 pages long).

Copies of all the Praxis notes and papers can be downloaded for free from our resources database.

Praxis Guides

Easily accessible handbooks providing simple explanations of concepts as well as models and tools. The guides draw together an overview of current thinking, an analysis of diverse practitioner experiences and commissioned case studies and research.

Currently, the three guides in the Praxis Series can either be ordered online as a set, for £25, or purchased individually for £12.95 each.
