  1. Six steps to create a training tool!

  2. First Step: NEED ANALYSIS How do you determine what the participants/ local community needs? • Need Analysis focuses on the specific elements you want to identify. • Identifies knowledge based solution • Identifies skills based solution • Identifies operational objectives of the training activity. • Identifies the target group

  3. Second Step: SET THE OBJECTIVES • Objectives are the guidance for implementing a training activity • Sets the targets • They are the milestones you can reach • Set the ways to identify the success of your activity • Sets the timeline to achieve the objectives

  4. Third Step: DEVELOP TRAINING TOOLS • Identify the type of the tool you would like to develop TYPES: • Exercise • Simulation exercise • Boardgame • Presentation • Discussion stimulator • Soft activity (energizer, group division, ice breaker etc). • All aspects of the training materials must focus on the needs of the learners. • Include debriefing sections

  5. TIPS: • Creativity is your friend • Don’t be afraid to get inspired by: • Popular stories • Fairy tales • Movies • Cartoons • Popular Activities • Cooking • Sports • Theatre • Famous People • Their life • Something they’ve achieved • Things they’ve said • Try to create something interactive • A bit of humor or pleasant activity is always attracting the attention of the learners.

  6. Important details: • Decide the duration of the activity dividing it to: • Introduction, explanation, questions • Main activity • Debriefing, evaluation, comments • Time to change rooms, moving (if necessary) • Write down or give print outs for the • instructions. • Prepare all material needed (and have some • extra just in case) • Don’t give the participants more or less • material • Experiment/ test the tool • Form an assessment policy • Form an evaluation policy

  7. Fourth Step: IMPLEMENTING THE TRAINING ACTIVITY • Create a comfortable learning environment • Set up the training area with the appropriate materials • Check your technical equipment (if needed) • Be always there before (to receive participants) and during (to assist, advise, time keeping etc)

  8. Fifth Step: BE PREPARED FOR CHANGES • Changes can appear for several reasons • Try to “read” the participants • Assess and evaluate • Have a plan B’ • In case of failure of the tool, think fast and change it. If not possible discuss it with the participants. Don’t go to the next activity without the closure • Don’t forget that in non formal education, even failures can be transformed to learning activities

  9. Sixth Step: Conclusion / Evaluation • Revisit the training objectives • Check if all previous steps were working properly • Seek to understand the reactions of the participants. Assess and evaluate • Change something if necessary for the next time • Ask for recommendations, advice, tips
