Tools
Here you will find 'codes' (poems, images, short sketches) and participatory activities that are tools for challenging and questioning. There are also descriptions of activities and toolkits from popular educators across the world. You will find valuable links to popular education sites elsewhere.
Most of these tools are freely down-loadable.
Please acknowledge the source when you use them.
Please contribute to this site: send any popular education processes and tools you have used that worked well so you can recommend them! We will upload or link them for others to use.
