Inspiring Practice from the Community
A lot of handbooks, toolboxes or other publications are published all over the world. Although publishing takes time, costs nerves and also money, the authors haven't done this for financial reasons. However different they all might be, most of them unite the mission to improve formal and non-formal learning or to empower people for democratic citizenship and civic engagement. Competendo aims to present good practices from the community. If you like it, contact the authors and let them know!
