The Lifebox workshop has three main sections:

and three key stages:

1. pre-departure

2. implementation

3. follow-up

There are four main groups involved:

Your team and the host team, Lifebox and the ASA GHO Committee.

You may choose to get involved in a number of different types of workshops:

1. Large-scale, often country-wide (coordinated by the ASA GHO Commitee)

2. Smaller scale, single hospital or district level (coordinated through personal or professional links)

3. Supplementary (organized as part of a service trip)

This guide outlines some essential steps and key questions for the different groups along the way.

NOTE:

Most stages will be the same, regardless of the type of workshop. But on a GHO-led trip, much of the work in the pre-course section will be completed by ASA. If you have questions about any of the steps, contact Lifebox or your ASA trip lead.
