Also on this page: Spanish-Language Discussion Guides
Everyday Democracy publishes discussion guides on a variety of public issues. Each guide consists of 4-to-6 sessions in which the conversation progresses from a session on personal experience ("how does the issue affect me?") to sessions providing a broader perspective ("what are others saying about the issue?") to a session on action ("What can we do about the issue?"). Guides are available for download (in Adobe PDF format) and/or in printed form.
