The Training of Trainers Manual - UNFPA

Day 6
Ask one member of the first group that presents to read the case study and
another member to share the strategies the group developed. Then give each
group about five minutes to make its presentation. When a group has finished,
ask other groups to acknowledge the common elements that they share with
the previous group and to focus more on elaborating the new ones in order to
contribute ideas to solve the situation.
Note: Facilitators should assist with the discussions, but remember to participate
rather than dominate the discussions.
Closure
After the last group has presented, say, ‘I hope these case studies were realistic and
helped you think about the strategies you discussed and ways that you can apply
these strategies in your own organizations and programmes.’
Wrap-up and closing ceremony
What we have covered: feedback and evaluation
The lead facilitator invites the participants to sum up what has been covered in the
past six days. Looking back at the initial expectations of the group, and also at the
many flip chart sheets which cover the walls of the training room, the facilitator
adds important points not mentioned. Participants provide feedback on what they
view as the highlights of this training, what was not achieved, and what topics
require further training.
The post-test questionnaire (found in Annex 1) is administered.
Closing ceremony and distribution of certificates
Allow enough time for a well-planned closing ceremony, which should include a
congratulatory speech by the lead organizer and the facilitators, as well as time
for the participants to express themselves. In addition, ensure that professional
certificates of completion are distributed. These certificates are very valuable for
the participants’ professional career and serve as a reward for their hard work in
the previous six days.
