Resource: Naming the Moment Manual

Naming the Moment is a popular education methodology for doing collective analysis of conditions in the world and that are significant for the participants and communities who choose to apply this method. As a popular education method it systematically draws out people’s experience in order to create new knowledge, connecting this to existing relevant knowledge and creating action plans that, implemented, can better resist oppression and achieve positive social change. It grew from connections between Canadian interest in Latin American popular education practices and, in particular, conjunctural analysis. This blog post by chris cavanagh describes Naming the Moment in community development terms and includes links to a selection of documents about the process. Download the manual here (4 MB PDF).
