Drawing on the authors' experiences in facilitating a wide range of workshops, this book offers theories and practical tools for weaving environmental and social issues. It can be used in by practitioners, educators, and activists in community workshops and/or adult education classes.

The various chapters provide a background of theories of adult, popular, feminist and environmental adult popular education; ideas for organising workshops within an ecological context; a number of critical and creative activities which use nature and the community as teachers and sites of learning; as well as other activities from the Philippines, Fiji, Australia, and Hong Kong.
