MethodFinder.net is a website that provides systematically researched and documented generic methods, the conceptual approach of which is to separate the method from the application. The generic method is designed to be used in any country and in any social context. It links theory with practice. The examples are always based upon country and situation-specific applications of the method. Each application example is therefore adjusted to local conditions.  The methods can be browsed and freely downloaded from the website as PDF files
