"I appreciated that you covered topics so well that I could do the course without the readings, but I did find the readings I did do [from the manual] improved my understanding of the material!"
  - Basic course participant, October 2023

​
I'm still discovering the manual, but OMG it's brilliant!! What an amazing project you've been working on.
There's just enough pictures and examples, and you have an incredible capacity to vulgarise the information.  I truly believe it will help a lot of people revendicate and perfectionate our work while on the field.  Thank you, all of you guys, for doing this. We NEEDED this. 
-- Marie-Lou Fromentin, MAÏKANA - Intervention par l'aventure
