Stories Without an Ending: An Adult Education Tool for Dialogue and Social Change (English & French)

The purpose of this guide is to help organizations involved in community programs to develop and use SWE. This innovative adult education tool can be used to actively engage community groups in discussion of issues of priority concern to them and/or to development programs and to catalyze discussion of those issues in the wider community. The generic SWE methodology can be used to address a variety of issues dealing with MCHN, as well as other questions related to early childhood development, adolescent health and well-being and child protection. SWE are open-ended without prescribed or set solutions to the problematic situations they present. An important aspect of the SWE is that they elicit debate on both existing and new ideas within small groups, which in turn can catalyze discussion in the wider community and can ultimately result in community-wide consensus for change.
