Info

S E S S I O N S Gulu Regional Orthopedic Workshop is the source of much of the following data: ♦ AVSI has identified 1,300 amputees in northern Uganda (1998 - 2002) ♦ ♦ ♦ 70% of the amputees in northern Uganda are from the Acholi subregion The cause of the majority of amputees treated (over 50%) was found to be war trauma (mines, bomb blasts, gunshot wounds and rebel assault) Between 1998 and 2003 AVSI identified and treated over 400 mine survivors at the Gulu Regional Orthopedic Workshop In this case war trauma refers to physical, not psychological, trauma. For more information, refer to the Training Manual for Teachers. The Amputee data for 1998 - 2003 (as collected by AVSI Gulu). Accurate statistics of the impact of mines are difficult to collect. In addition, these statistics may fluctuate from year to year. Therefore it is important to continually seek updated figures and consult with the International Committee to Ban <strong>Mine</strong>s (ICBL) which keeps global statistics, and AVSI for local statistics. Exercise These numbers can be illustrated by a circle graph and an exercise in which participants show the statistics. For example, the entire group can stand together in a space, then break off according to the statistics you are using. In the above case, slightly more than half of the group could stand together to represent amputees affected by War Trauma, one fourth would stand in a separate group to represent Medical reasons, and the remaining fourth would be divided into thirds, with two thirds of them representing amputees from Accidents and one third representing Other. Each group could then reinforce the different causes of amputation by offering examples of “what might have happened to them”. 11
TECHNICAL SESSION The information in this session is divided into three parts, each with its own focus point. ♦ ♦ ♦ Be aware of the threat Know how to protect yourself Know what to do if you find an unknown object Important Points for the Trainer The technical session is the core of the workshop. It is designed to give the participants accurate and current information on landmines and how dangerous they are. This information empowers the participants with knowledge and awareness they can take back to their communities. S E S S I O N S ! Constantly reinforce the Golden Rules regarding an unknown object: MARK the area WARN the community INFORM the authorities They will be expected to answer relevant questions asked during their sensitizations of the population based on what they have learned during the TOT. ! ! Emphasize the danger of landmines and the need for only technical experts to approach and defuse mines and UXO. Reinforce that trainees may have more information than many in their community, but that they still must not approach unknown objects. Teaching Encourage participants to ask questions, offer suggestions and react personally to the topic. Challenge misinformation that participants may have previously obtained. You may engage them in role-plays or games to make sure that they understand the material. Remind participants not to take notes during the session in order to give their full attention to the facilitators or the group. You can facilitate this section by asking questions and providing answers. Allow participants to brainstorm, then adjust and give the correct responses. Use simple words and descriptions. Be ready to repeat the same message in different ways. 12
