Reflect is a innovative approach to adult learning and social change which fuses the theories of Paulo Freire with the methodology of participatory rural appraisal. Here we have used Reflect tools to illustrate the evolution of Reflect, and its key elements.
To illustrate the key elements and principles of Reflect we have created a tree diagram, which is a visualisation technique used in Reflect groups. The structure of roots and branches allow groups to analyse cause and effect or inputs and outputs in different situations.
Here we are using the roots of the tree to symbolise the key principles of Reflect, and the fruits on the branches show how Reflect has been adapted for use in diverse contexts.
