Understanding and Challenging Stigma toward ... - Pact Cambodia

Tips
Timing and Pacing
Be time conscious. Decide how much time you need for each session and work
to these time limits. Don’t allow sessions to drag on too long!
Remember, small group work takes more time than you expect. You will also
need to allocate time for report backs.
Don’t go too fast. Let the group help you set an appropriate pace.
Do small group work in the afternoon when the energy levels drop.
Give small groups enough time to do their work. Don't rush them.
Close on time! Don't drag things on forever at the end of the day.
Action Planning
At the end of the workshop get participants to develop an action plan on how
they will use what they have learned from the workshop.
Get participants to think about what they can do individually (e.g., changes in
their own lives) and what they can do as a group (e.g., things they can do to
challenge stigma).
Evaluation
Organize an evaluation at the end of each day.
Hand out a one page questionnaire (e.g., likes, dislikes, what was learned, issues
needing more discussion) and ask participants to complete it. This helps to identify
problems or issues which need to be addressed and helps you improve the
workshop.
Summarize the main points from the evaluation the following morning.
Don’t be defensive about the evaluation comments; try to learn from the feed
back.
Organize an evaluation at the end of the workshop.
