A five-day long residential training on Transformative Learning was organised by ForestAction in collaboration with Environmental Resources Institute from 19-23 September 2005 at Dhulikhel, Kavre. Interactions, debates and discussions within the discourses of transformative learning (which create a space for political debate, wherein every member of society, irrespective of caste, class, gender or ethnicity, can participate and internalize the process of transformation, contributing to sustainable change) were held with the participants, helping to identify several critical areas to be strengthened, so that participants could contribute more effectively in the process of social transformation. There were 23 participants from various organizations, including I/NGOs, media, political parties, writers, university students and activists.
