Heden, Patricia Publisher: CUSO Development Education, Ottawa, Canada Year Published: 1983 First Published: 1980 Pages: 40pp Resource Type: Pamphlet
Abstract: This kit brings together the collective experience and wisdom of many development education workers in order to assist newcomers to the field. Development education is defined..."an ongoing process of reflection and action. Its purpose is to expose and work against the structures which impede human development in a way which empowers people in many sectors to take action in their own community."
The kit contains a brief history of development education in CUSO, a range of programme ideas, a step by step guide to planning and implementing an education programme, a catalogue of resources, and several detailed examples of what others have done in development educaiton.
In the history section of the kit, the author point out that CUSO has revised and expanded its objectives over the years. CUSO has learned that "the causes of underdevelopment do not lie solely in the Third World, but rather in the relationships wich exist between the industrialized and underdeveloped nations - unequal relationships often established during colonial times and perpetuated through modern poltical and economical structures, to the advantage of industrialized countries and the systematic disadvantages of developing nations.
The authors describe examples of what others have done in development education, including: Southern Africa support work, transnational corporation and corporate responsibility, food, work in schools, work with labour, tours of Third World countries, and government lobbying.
