The benefits of project-based group work in helping people to realize their potential have long been recognized. What has been lacking, however, is a methodology to enhance and improve the process. This manual, which sets out the basic concepts of project-based group work and gives guidelines on how to manage different elements of the process, seeks to fill this gap. Written primarily for those involved with youths, the manual is not intended to be prescriptive but rather to act as a foundation from which group facilitators can develop their own style and techniques.
