A training centre for extension workers in the Emmental region of Switzerland used RRA to explore changes in the farming community. This article describes in detail the programme, highlighting methods specific to this 'Northern' context (for example, using the telephone book to locate farms). Certain methods, such as visualisation through using cards on pinboards, were already familiar as an established method of Swiss extension. Mind mapping for setting up a motivation system for the RRA as a whole proved useful for recruiting more team members and informing local journalists.
