IPK Resources to Share
Over the years we have developed resources which ease our work as process designers and facilitators.
"The concepts, methods and tools in IPK’s training cycles are very relevant for the practical work in our organisation."
Sonja Kurz, SADC Promotion of Economic Integration and Trade Programme, German Agency for Development Collaboration
We understand ourselves as part of a larger community of change agents and facilitators. As such, we benefit enormously from the knowledge and practice many others have shared. In return, we want to share our own knowledge and materials with the wider community. This is a starting point for you to explore. Please return from time to time, as we intend this to be a continuously growing resources page.
Our Approach to Sharing Resources
At IPK we have a long-standing practice of sharing resources. Please see below for a variety of resources, ranging from content relevant to the virtual space, to content relevant to facilitation and process design, further content on tools and methodologies, and much more.

IPK Facilitation Handbook
Knowledge Sharing for Change: the IPK Facilitation Handbook (Version 2.5, 2013) is the manual we have used in many of our facilitation training courses. While it has been written in 2013 and we may have advanced in many ways, it still provides a good insight and foundation in our practice that served us well over the years.
