This book is about action learning in the service of social action
and social change. The contributors are all engaged in developing
new approaches to the wicked problems found in the world today,
including the climate emergency, the circular economy, food poverty
and insecurity, homelessness, disadvantage, active citizenship,
social entrepreneurialism, and the learning of young women abducted
by Boko Haram. They reflect a great diversity of settings in South
Africa, Australia, Canada, Nigeria, Mozambique, Hungary, Poland and
the UK. At this time of global crisis rapid technological and
social developments sit side by side with apparently impossible
challenges needing urgent action. In the Global South, conflicts,
terrorism and climatic changes have forced millions of people to
abandon their homes and to migrate in search of food and safety. In
the Global North, neo-liberal and market-based policies have
pursued deregulation, privatisation and the shrinking of the state
with consequent increases in homelessness, poverty and ill-health.
Action learning was devised to help people work together in
challenging situations to bring about changes from the bottom-up.
The people in these stories and cases are not passively awaiting
brighter futures but are acting together to create a better world
for themselves. They are taking back control in local community
regeneration schemes, local energy and housing projects, setting up
co-working spaces and inventing new ways of doing business and
learning new ways to inhabit the earth. They demonstrate a
confidence in an action learning idea that is alive and evolving.
The chapters in this book were first published in the journal
Action Learning: Research and Practice.
