Source:IPS There are three (3) modules in the manual which can be used in a variety of ways. A three-day training programme can be designed , or, a one-week course can be developed using sections of the manual in conjunction with other training materials relevant to the topics covered.
The modules also can be used as stand-alone training materials for other courses designed on HIV/AIDS or gender.
It is strongly advised that the training is hands-on, using exercises and examples from the media to help the participants analyze and obtain a practical feel for the content provided in the modules.
The material contained within serves only as a guide, and facilitators and trainers should add additional information, exercises and appropriate examples for the target audience trained. Due to time constraints, the trainer/facilitator will not be able to use all of the exercises provided in the modules. He or she should choose or adapt the exercises to ensure a good mix of covering the key points, discussion and exercises.
