Abstract:
This article describes the methodology used in immersion programmes organised by the Exposure and Dialogue Programme Association in Germany. Working in partnership with local organisations, the Association brings influential decision makers into personal contact with poor and marginalised people, and the realities of their daily lives. Each programme has a theme focusing on specific dimensions of poverty and avenues for its reduction. Where possible, both non-national and national policy makers participate in the programmes. After describing the development and implementation of EDPs, the author discusses the learning experiences of participants and host families. He concludes by noting that a key challenge for the Association is to measure the personal and institutional impacts of EDPs in a systematic and scientific way.Document Type: Research article
