4 VIPP involves capturing all participants' ideas on moveable cards of different colours and shapes, thereby visualizing and focussing deliberations. This manual is derived from 20 years of experience in adult education. The contents are a combination of the philosophy and methods of the popular education movement of Latin America, the approach of Participatory Action Research in its application to adult education and different visualization techniques, like those of Metaplan from Germany. The particularity of VIPP lies in this creative combination of different approaches, all of which emphasize the importance of people's involvement in formulating development policy and in training development workers. THE ROOTS AND PHILOSOPHY OF VIPP
Structure of the manual This manual is divided into five major parts. We begin with the history and philosophy of VIPP, as VIPP stands for much more than the use of recipes or techniques. Secondly, we deal with the appropriateness of VIPP for different kinds of events and participants. The VIPP-process requires good facilitators who are able to engage in teamwork with other facilitators and feel empathy for the participants. Therefore, the qualities of a good facilitator are described. This part also includes the planning process for events. The third part includes different VIPP techniques and processes in detail. It also includes evaluation and feedback methods and some checklists and matrixes which will help in remembering detail in the preparation and evaluation of any session. The conclusion is a critical reflection on the potential uses and limitations of VIPP. VIPP methods are not the solution to every kind of situation. However, they have great potential value in democratizing the attitude of any group of people who wish to achieve a common goal. Finally, the manual concludes with examples of application, case studies, useful forms and a set of references for further reading, including other manuals. This manual is a collection of experiences and reflections which may help the interested reader find ideas for the planning of forthcoming group events. It is not a final and complete manual since it is expected that facilitators will take the principle methods and adapt them to their own experience, needs and circumstances, improving techniques by doing. The appropriate use of VIPP will always depend on the situation and actors involved and it does not automatically lead to success. It is a dynamic process, whereby we, as facilitators, progress with a repertoire of methods according to our own experiences, opportunities and learning processes. The pages which follow should be used, therefore, as a base of ideas for your own experimentation. This manual will serve as a resource for remembering fundamental rules and their philosophical basis. But do not see it as a fixed and dogmatic set of procedures. That would contradict the very philosophy of VIPP! THE ROOTS AND PHILOSOPHY OF VIPP Introduction 5
