4 DAY Session 12:
Presentation of group work and final evaluation
Session Objective : To revise the information presented during the training program so
far and evaluate participants ability to recognise symptoms of mental
disorders, respond appropriately, refer people to appropriate services,
and provide support to the family.
Activity 31 : Presentation of group work
Ask each group to identify a member of the group who will introduce the
group and their presentation.
Allow 1 hour for the three groups to present the report/presentation/
role play developed during the previous session, including 15 minutes
for presentation and 5 minutes for each comments and discussion
Activity 32 : Participatory evaluation activity
Time : 1 hour
Purpose : To allow participants time to brainstorm the highs and lows of the training
program and to communicate their ideas to the facilitator.
Materials : Large pieces of paper and marker pens
Directions : Step 1 What have we learnt?
Ask the participants to think of something they have learnt across the
course of the training that they are willing to share with the larger group
i.e. what new knowledge or understanding do they have now that they
did not have at the beginning of the training?
Allow 3 minutes for this reflection, and then ask each of them to share
their particular learning with the rest of the group, one by one. Each
person should only speak for approximately one minute.
NB: One of the facilitators can lead this session, and the other can make
notes based on the participants’ comments. These notes will create a
record for the purpose of course evaluation.
Step 2 - Brainstorming the highs and lows
Divide the participants into three groups and provide each group with
large sheets of paper and pens.
