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 />
