Abstract
The social learning approach taken by the Jongphambili Sinethemba research team places great emphasis on individual and community agency, vulnerability, and the need to constantly reflect on the process of learning, providing insight into the commitments necessary to co-create research. This handbook emerged over the course of four years, as part of a broader scientific research project on vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and other stressors, with a focus on knowledge building. A social learning approach requires community participants to engage in the co-development of the processes of research and what might be valuable to learn.
