Praxis intervention. Praxis intervention is a form of participatory action research.
The praxis intervention model emphasizes working on the praxis potential, or phronesis, of its participants, where other forms of participatory action research emphasize the collective modification of the external world (Madhu 2005). "Praxis potential" means the 'members' potential to reflexively work on their respective 'mentalities'; by 'participant' it is not just meant the clientele beneficiaries of the praxis intervention project alone, but also the organisers and experts participating in such a project.
