About this Resource

The Issue Guide Exchange is a free, online resource available to anyone who is interested in broad-based, inclusive dialogue leading to community action. It is a place for people to share, create, and discuss dialogue materials. The Issue Guide Exchange was created and is maintained by Everyday Democracy.

The Issue Guide Exchange, or IGX has three parts:

  1. An exchange – a place for people to upload issue guides of their own, search for and review others’ guides, and download and adapt them.
  2. A forum – a place for people to discuss specific guides or dialogue in general.
  3. A how-to – for people interested in creating their own issue guide, we have developed a step-by-step tool that helps you create your own issue guide (this tool uses the “study circles” approach).
