Info

Module is intended for use by persons with some experience in facilitation and workshop design and delivery at the community level. When targeting community members to attend a workshop based on the Module, it is recommended that the selection be gender-balanced and representative of the different interests in the community including, where possible, the most vulnerable groups. Community-based organisations should have at least two representatives to ensure continuity should one of them leave the organisation. However, although the language and approaches used will be appropriate to a community level and to different styles of learning, basic functional literacy will be necessary for participants to gain full benefit from the workshop and to apply the tools and methods in the Participant’s Handbook subsequently. 3.4.4.3 Training Methodologies Training workshops of this nature can be quite intensive and since each person learns in a different way, a range of training methodologies will be used in the Module, including: icebreakers and energisers audio-visual presentations and lectures by the facilitator large group discussions (in plenary) small group work and discussions questioning techniques brainstorming individual reflection practical exercises using participatory learning and action (PLA) tools case studies guiding questions for self-study engaging participants’ creativity additional reading Each methodology used has its particular strength and utility in a workshop setting: Icebreakers and energisers encourage rapid relationship building and stimulate participants at points in the workshop where their energy has dropped. Lectures, presentations and background reading are useful for conveying knowledge. Whole group (plenary) discussions allow for the development of a common understanding of certain topics and identify areas where there may be conflict within the group or community. Small group discussions stimulate greater participation from people who are not confident contributing to large group discussions. Questioning techniques promote participant engagement and help to identify participants’ relevant prior knowledge and experience. Brainstorming allows participants to generate several ideas about an issue in a short space of time in a non-judgmental atmosphere. Small group work and practical exercises involve participants as actors and allow them to apply information and knowledge gained to their own situation for problem solving. Prompts and exercises that encourage individual reflection give participants an opportunity for selfdirected learning and consolidation of material discussed, at their own pace. Engaging participants’ creativity stimulates creative thinking and inputs from participants who may feel less confident expressing themselves in words, especially in front of a large group. It can also 10
produce outputs, such as pictures, maps, 3-D models, or songs, that are more easily shared with other member of the community. 3.4.4.4 Workshop results At the end of a workshop based on the Module, it is anticipated that some or all of the following results will be achieved, depending on the time available for delivery and the entering knowledge and experience of the participants: a) increased understanding of what is happening globally and regionally in terms of climate change; b) increased knowledge of climate change adaptation and awareness of the linkages between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction; c) increased ability to discuss the climate change and disaster issues likely to affect their communities overall, as well as specific groupings within it and particularly the most vulnerable (e.g. how they may affect men and women differently and the impacts on young and old, the poorest etc.); d) increased awareness of the tools and resource materials available to assess a community’s vulnerability and capacity to respond; e) increased capacity to assist their communities in preparing for and responding effectively to climaterelated impacts and disasters, including increasing the resilience of communities (and specific groupings within it) and knowing how to integrate response actions into existing coping mechanisms and programmes (including early warning systems); f) improved access to, and capacity to apply, a range of tools and techniques for effectively communicating climate change risks and responses to those most likely to be affected, as well as for lobbying stakeholders who play key roles in the development of climate change and disaster management policy; g) increased capacity to monitor and evaluate the changes in resilience through adaptation projects; and h) improved access to further resources designed to enhance community resilience to climate change and reduce the impact of related disasters, including details of useful contacts at international, regional and national level. 3.4.4.5 Module timeframe and topics The core Module is designed to be delivered as a two-day training workshop, with material to be covered during 12 hours of contact time. The material may be used over a consecutive two-day period or it may be presented in units over an extended period totalling 12 hours of contact time. If the module is used over a twoday period, the facilitator/trainer must add time for lunch (1 hour) and morning and afternoon tea breaks (15 to 30 minutes). In addition to the core training, the Module also includes supplemental activities and material for up to an additional day or 6 hours of contact time. The core Module will contain six Units covering the following topics: Unit 1: Introduction to Climate Change; Unit 2: Understanding Community Vulnerability and Capacity to Respond to Climate Change; Unit 3: Developing a Community Climate Change Response and Climate Proofing the Community Disaster Plan Unit 4: Using Communications to Support your Climate Change Plan Unit 5: Monitoring and Evaluating your Community Climate Change Plan Unit 6: Workshop evaluation and closing 11
