Dear friends:

We are excited to announce a new online resource on power analysis for social change: http://www.powercube.net is live and ready to use! Please feel free share with interested people and networks. Powercube.net has creative commons copyright which means you can share and adapt the work as long as it is attributed, not used for commercial purposes and shared onwards in the same way.

Powercube.net is a response to requests from many people for more practical and conceptual methods, materials and resources to help them think about and respond to power relations within their organisations and within wider social and political spaces and institutions.

The new site is a collective effort, representing contributions from members of the Participation, Power and Social Change team at IDS as well as a number of others from social movements, NGOs, civil society organisation and donor agencies across the world. Many contributors to the website participated in a workshop at IDS on ‘Power analysis in practice’ in June 2009.

We warmly invite you to continue contact with us – sharing ideas and resources and giving us feedback. We hope this site will grow and develop over time, becoming increasingly led by its users.

In the meantime you can follow us on twitter as ‘powercube’ or contact us directly at info@powercube.net.
