How can adults gain new insights and learn new things from their own experiences through direct involvement? For this process, the author stresses the importance of applying the knowledge acquired in practice, and of individuals' actual relationship to everyday life, and the overriding importance of conveying social skills such as willingness to innovate, creativity, reliability, etc. She thus provides an answer to the question whether the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method can meet these requirements. In doing so, she describes two projects: the largely rural education centres and pilot activities in two villages in which this participatory approach is being tried out.
