Day 8
Session 20 Overall Discussion
Time: 60 minutes
Objective
This is an open session. Participants can choose to have a discussion on any one of the topics that has been
covered during the training or that is otherwise pertinent to it. Alternatively, if the facilitator sees that there is a
need to revisit a certain topic, he or she can set an agenda for the discussion.
Activities
If there is no outstanding issue to be discussed, the facilitator can use this session as an opportunity to review
some of the course material.
Session 20
This is an interactive session; the facilitator can divide the class into three or four different groups (making sure
that, to the extent possible, the groups have participants from each country that is represented in the class).
The facilitator then assigns each group a problem based on any one of the themes covered in the training
sessions or based on the field observations. It must be a practical problem that demands an integrated
solution – it should not be too long or too complicated and should be a problem that can be worked out in
the 40 minutes allotted.
Each group discusses the problem and comes up with a way of approaching it. At the end of the allotted time
a spokesperson from each group makes a short (5 minute) presentation to the whole class.
