Resource Description:
Political party activists and trainers can use this participatory workbook as a tool to take into account the issues that might arise when joining forces with other civil society actors. Even in the best case scenario, when the benefits of working together are evident for both, disincentives and resistance to change can thwart progress. The goal of establishing a constructive dialogue is to help political parties and civil society organizations to see beyond the negative perceptions, identify common interests, learn the benefits of working together, and build working relationships that can form the basis of effective solutions for citizen participation.
