Abstract
This paper describes the work of an innovative group of Southern NGOs and grassroots organizations. In order to achieve their empowerment objectives, the group has pioneered a methodology to root learning and knowledge creation within low‐income urban communities themselves. Exchanges between communities of the urban poor have helped to spread skills, encourage solidarity and instil self‐confidence. The discussion explains how and why this methodology has developed and how it addresses acknowledged difficulties within participatory methodologies. The discussion also elaborates on the benefits of community exchanges.
