The Free-D community toolkit

The Free-D community toolkit shows how to create a safe space for open debate at community level, providing guidance on how to engage people through the Free-D initiative and how to run a Free-D event.

Full of ideas for action, practical facilitation advice, hints and tips on how to handle the media, plus other useful guidance, the toolkit is an invaluable resource for all stakeholders looking to make a difference at local level.
