The guidance and tools for programme coordinators and
facilitators in the Adolescent Kit are intended to be easy to
use.
All users should be able to find the resources they need with
minimal formal orientation or training, and to use these
resources through programmes and interventions that uphold good
practices for working with and for adolescents.
But some programme coordinators designing new programmes or
seeking to strengthen existing programmes may find it helpful to
organize a preparatory workshop to support managers, trainers,
facilitators and other volunteers or staff to use the resources
in the Adolescent Kit.
Intended to be used along with the guidance and tools for
programme
coordinators and facilitators included in
the Adolescent Kit, the training package aims to:
Prepare managers and trainers to train facilitators to plan
and lead activities with and for adolescents, upholding the
principles and standards, and using good practices and
methods, of human rights-based approaches – equity, education,
psychosocial support and protection.
Support managers and trainers in developing and implementing
plans to use the resources in the Kit, adapting and addressing
their plans to the needs and priorities of adolescents with
whom they work, and to their programme goals and objectives.
Like all materials in the Adolescent Kit, these training
resources are intended to be used flexibly, and to be adapted as
appropriate to specific programme goals and contexts and
adolescent needs.
The training package includes five modules:
Overview of the Adolescent Kit for Expression and Innovation
Reaching and including adolescents
Building Adolescent Circles
Choosing and planning activity phases for adolescents
Implementation and roll-out planning
Each module is divided into four or five sessions, each of which
includes:
Objectives: What workshop participants will
learn or create in each session.
Activities: The training activities that the
workshop participants will carry out, with support from the
trainer.
References: The sections of guidance or tools
from the Adolescent Kit that workshop participants will use in
each session.
PowerPoint presentations providing the
information and guidance for trainers and workshop
participants to carry out the activities in each module.
