In September 2009 a group of practitioners, policy officers and academics met with two international participation activists, to reflect on 'the case for participation'. The purpose of the workshop was to encourage people to move beyond what we already know about the challenges and opportunities of participation, and to think creatively and constructively about how to embed and develop this agenda.

This publication outlines key learning from the workshop, and contains the two inspiring presentations from Vaughn John, an experienced South African educator and researcher with expertise in peace education and popular participation, and Rosa Parissi, a Chilean community activist and popular educator who has worked alongside Paulo Freire.

Participants also developed a set of agenda suggestions for the next Champions of Participation residential to be held in March 2010 by the Empowerment Partnership
