Trainers’ Preparatory Meeting Duration and Sequence

Transport adequate transport arrangements will be needed for all the subgroups to travel to different villages independently. ideally, transport will be provided to bring village leaders to the venue to meet the teams on the afternoon of the first day, and to return them again to their respective villages. Accommodation and food arrangements need to be made for accommodation and food for all participants. Community members from the selected villages will be invited to the main training centre for the last day of the training workshop. Hence the number of people to be catered for on the last day or couple of days increases. Equipment and training material see Appendix A 5 Workshop sTrucTure

5.1 Trainers’ Preparatory Meeting

Trainers should be in touch with each other before the training to liaise about details. a face-to-face meeting is a good idea at least a day before the training starts.

5.2 Duration and Sequence

Durations and sequences of training workshops vary. Triggerings on two or even three successive days, in different communities, are desirable for gaining experience and confidence. a good practical length is 5 days with triggering on days 2 and 3. This can be: Day n arrival of participants. n informal meeting in the evening n Logistical arrangements 1 Getting Started n inauguration optional n introductions, setting norms, expectations if not covered the evening before Why CLTS? n Essentials of attitude and behaviour change n What is CLTS? Sharing experiences Training exercises and activities n Forming and briefing fieldwork groups n Groups meet community representatives n Groups start working on village strategy 2 n a.m. Continue training exercises and activities. Groups review, present and fine tune their village work strategies n p.m. Hands-on triggering in first communities 3 Relection and review n a.m. Brief relection and review n Quick sharing of experiences n Video replay with analysis by the participating trainers n Groups review and fine tune their strategies with detailed comment from each group on the rationale and need for such change n p.m. Triggering in second communities 4 Relection and practice session n Quick sharing of experiences, comparing day 2 and day 3 outcomes n relection and review and practice sessions by participating trainers and co-trainers n Preparation for report and follow up n Briefing for day 5 5 Community feedback and follow-up planning n Community feedback n Form groups by affiliation i.e. organisations, departments or areas n Prepare and present action plans and commitments Thereafter n Follow up with communities and trainers This is not suggested as a rigid frame but as a sequence and timing that has been found practical. The first day is quite intense. Participants sometimes say that they are not ready to trigger on day 2, but there is much to be said for learning by doing without delay. it is also possible to do triggering on three consecutive days – 2, 3 and 4. Training can also be for longer than 5 days.
