Talking about domestic violence: A handbook for ... - Engagingmen.net

steps:
10 minutes 1. Warm up exercise
Select a suitable and fun warming up activity from Chapter 6 to help everyone
to relax and focus.
10 minutes 2. Review of previous session (session 1)
The facilitator should begin by summarising key definitions and ideas from
the previous session by asking:
What do you remember about domestic violence (Facilitator can prompt with
questions such as ‘What is domestic violence?’)
How many different types can you remember?
10 minutes 3. Presentation
3.1. Introducing the session.
Facilitator should summarise key points from the introduction above.
3.2. The facilitator will then present the objectives of the session and ask two
to three participants to read the session objectives that have previously to
been written on a flipchart.
30 minutes 4. Socio-metry
4.1. The facilitator sets up the activity by explaining the following:
4.1.1. Imagine there is a line down the centre of the room (or sala or
wherever the conversation is being held).
4.1.2. This end is north – s/he walks to the northern end and places
one of the kroma on the floor.
4.1.3. This end is south – s/he walks to the southern end and places
another coloured kroma on the floor.
4.1.4. And here in the middle is neutral – s/he places a third coloured
kroma in the middle (neutral) spot.
4.1.5. I am going to read out a statement.
• If you agree with the statement then you will move and stand
by the north kroma.
• If you disagree with the statement, then you move and stand
by the south kroma.
• If you neither agree nor disagree, then stand by the neutral kroma.
4.2. The facilitator then reads out the first statement, saying: Listen to the first
statement and then move to north, south or neutral.
The main cause of domestic violence is because men think that they are
breadwinners.
4.2.1. (After everyone has moved to stand near one of the kroma) Can
someone from the north group explain why you agree with this
statement?
Listen to the answer and say ‘thank you.’ Do not debate, agree or
disagree.
4.2.2. Next, ask: Can someone from the south group tell me why you
disagree with the statement? (As above).
