Abstract

The Story of the Good Day Centre (Hao Rizi Zhongxin) illustrates trajectories of change through 'changes from without' in which uses of a 'fluid methodology' enables the transition to 'changes from within.' The provision of 'safe space' creates conditions under which local women may safely gain access to new knowledge.

This participatory 'Story of Development' is constructed from the voices of the coordinating lead partner (Maria Jaschok) and the local lead partner (Xu Lili). A shortened version of the story is also appended.
