We never get enough of hearing about the difference The RITP continues to make in the world.
“A really excellent resource for anyone working in and with communities in creative practice. The chapters are written in an accessible and informative style, yet address critical issues in community-engaged practice… An essential text.” – Linda, GoodReads reviewer
“An invaluable resource for anyone working in the arts, especially those who are invested in working with, supporting and generating creative opportunities for communities and minority groups. Much of this book articulates familiar concepts and principles I grapple with at work every day, but it does so with a bracing and immensely valuable clarity. Other sections offer surprising and novel (to me) ways to engage with the principles of community-engaged practice.” – Veronica, GoodReads reviewer
“The Relationship is the Project is such an important read for an aspiring policy analyst/advisor. People are and should always be at the forefront of every project, and not just those with the loudest voices. This book provided great reflections and question prompts for those working with stakeholders. While the book focuses on the arts sector, there is a lot to take away for people in every industry.”- Ella, GoodReads reviewer
“A must read for anyone working with people.” – Lily, GoodReads reviewer
“‘To reach the best outcomes, is the relationship itself the project?’ This is such an important question and such a great book.
I find myself coming back to this book again and again. It is such a valuable resource for anyone working with communities. The questions and provocations on a range of topics really encourage me to think deeply about the why and how of my practice and also my own position. In doing so, it highlights an important distinction between community engagement and community-engaged practice.”
