Practical Guides for Participatory Methods: Rivers of Life

Published on 26 January 2023

This guide offers practical guidance on Rivers of Life. It explains why it might be useful, key considerations, practical steps and a case study of how it has been used.

Through drawing of a river, this method helps to access and communicate personal experiences, and facilitate group dialogue around the issues that the groups themselves identify. The expectation is that, through staged group activities moving from individual activity to group discussion, trust and rapport can be built with the researcher, and between the participants
