A couple of weeks ago, our 15 field staff (VAHWs & Facilitators in the photo to the right) undertook the "Training of Trainers" course, ToT. Previously, our project coordinators and 2 assistants carried out most of the group trainings. This course aimed to give our field staff the necessary skills needed to facilitate the training on their own at village level.
The training lasted 7 days and the content consisted of, for example; use of training material and different formats available- dicussion, mini lecture, brainstorming, practicals etc. They also got the chance to prepare a small lecture and present it to the group. We video recorded all the individuals and had a great feedback session afterwards when we reviewed all of them. The power cuts created havock however!!!
We have seen immediate results, with the facilitators already getting involved in group trainings! To the right is Pabitra Goddar demonstrating to her own group, Himchuli in Thumki.
