Publisher's Synopsis
This is a pack of flexible and usable materials for use with adults wanting to understand changes in their own lives. It considers ways in which people can individually and collectively channel their creativities and social involvements, and seeks to challenge the isolating and disconnecting effects of unemployment and community decline. Materials can be photocopied for use with learners. The pack can be used in a variety of learning situations, whether individually at home or in self-organised groups. Chapters offer interactive material for classroom-based activities and discussions. Tutors will find the pack useful in developing an understanding of a range of issues around the changing labour market, and in prompting questions on personal and collective power. This pack will be of interest to voluntary organisations, community educators, local authorities and colleges working with people who are unemployed or partly employed
