Seven stages, 35 minutes each, Free downloadable pdf
Note from CRP: I prefer linking to others’ projects to providing materials directly. However, the earlier link to the Toolkit (Library of Queensland) currently (September 2024) leads to “Page Not Found”. I’ve linked to a previously downloaded pdf hosted on this website, pending finding an operative link to the project’s home. A short paper by the Toolkit authors describing the project is here: Paper. I’ve reached out to authors at Relative Creative, hoping to reestablish a link to the Toolkit in their library of design resources, but have not received a response.
These materials are unrelated to The Culture of Repair Project.
