Praxis publications

Relevant and accessible resources for practitioners

Praxis publications facilitate the exchange of ideas, learning and innovative practice in organisational capacity building.

Praxis publications 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, and many are translated into French, Spanish, Chinese and Russian.

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. (c. 5-10 pages – free to download).
Praxis Papers: Analytical papers linking theory to field research or lessons learnt from practical experiences (c. 30 pages – free to download or order hard copy online).
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 (c. 140 pages – can be ordered online).

Praxis Programme reports of workshops are available here.
