Participatory agroforestry curriculum development - an account of a participatory writing workshop

Export citation

This paper describes the process of a workshop which used a participatory curriculum development methodology (PCD) to create an agroforestry curriculum developmentguide. The paper introduces the underlying concepts of PCD and reflects on some lessons learned about the process. It also discusses some possible reasons behind the success of the workshop in terms of the participatory process applied, the content, and the final product. By the end of the workshop, participants had, together, written a detailed draft guide. After review and editing, this guidewill serve to support the development of agroforestry education and training programmes in the South-East (SE) Asia region, and enhance the teaching and learning process of agroforestry.
