o Where are you going to have your training? How might this affect participants’ experiences? Consider issues of safety, time of day and accessibility of the space. o Who are the participants in the training? How were they recruited? How many participants are attending? Ensure that the group isn’ t too large. We suggest a group of 15 to 25 people. o Consider the age range, geographical location, lived experiences of the participants. Ask yourself – how does this change the facilitation and content of the training? o What do you hope the participants will get out of the training? Ensure you have clear learning objectives and share these with the participants at the beginning of the training. o Will participants receive any resources after the training, such as condensed information? If so, have materials prepared in advance. o Prepare all training materials( e. g., such as large white flip-chart papers or a chalkboard, food for participants, resource folders, etc.) in advance. It is up to you and your budget to decide what is needed and what works for the group. o Plan sufficient time for the sessions you want to deliver. You will find time suggestions for each activity provided in this guide.
