Day 1<br />

Suggestions for<br />

the facilitator<br />

Use the parking lot – find time to answer all questions<br />

During any given presentation the participants may raise issues<br />

that are relevant in the context <strong>of</strong> the session but which it is not<br />

possible to address or clarified at the moment due to time or<br />

resource constraints. Such issues can be ‘parked’ by writing<br />

them on the chart paper provided for this purpose. The ‘parking<br />

lot’ chart paper is displayed by the presenter’s desk or in<br />

another convenient location. The trainer can then discuss these<br />

topics either one-on-one with the individual or with a group by<br />

arranging a mutually agreed time either during lunchtime or tea<br />

break or at the end <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />

Session 1<br />

Activity 1.7: Other issues (housekeeping)<br />

Time: 10 minutes<br />

It is wise to keep aside some time to discuss any other issues that may need attention during the training.<br />

These issues may or may not be related to the technical aspects <strong>of</strong> the training. Letting participants know that<br />

any issues that are important to them will be looked after is reassuring and is a way <strong>of</strong> making participants<br />

feel comfortable and engaged. The facilitator may ask about time schedules, logistics, or any other issue. If<br />

a participant raises an issue, the facilitator should seek a solution by discussing with the group. The important<br />

thing is to assure participants that their needs will be taken into consideration. Items that may be <strong>of</strong> concern<br />

to the participants can include, for example:<br />

• Resource materials and data<br />

• Information regarding transportation from the place <strong>of</strong> residence to the training venue<br />

• Places for phone communication, internet access, etc.<br />

• Nearby market places for general shopping<br />

• Traffic and security regulations<br />

• Emergency contact person(s) and contact details<br />

After this discussion, the facilitator can continue with the next technical session.<br />
