This 3-day Training of Trainers (ToT) on Participatory Training Methodology is designed for facilitators, educators, youth leaders, and development practitioners who wish to strengthen their capacity to design and deliver impactful participatory training programmes.
Unlike the online course, which focuses on conceptual understanding, this ToT moves a step further from theory to practice. The focus is on doing, reflecting, and improving. It emphasizes hands-on practice, peer learning, feedback, and reflective facilitation. Participants will engage in real-time facilitation practice, session design, and reflection on trainer identity and facilitation style. Through simulations, role-plays, group work, and feedback sessions, participants will not only learn about participatory training methods but also practice them in real time.
At the end of the training, participants will be able to design and facilitate participatory sessions, incorporate feedback, and articulate their own trainer identity and facilitation style
It was a very enriching experience. People from a lot of organizations were there. I got to interact with them and even the facilitators delivered the content in an easy and understandable manner. It was a very warm experience. Thankyou PRIA.
This 3-day workshop has been very valuable because here the foundation of training and the fundamental aspects of training were understood. Not only training but also how to design and deliver the content using different methodologies and tools. There is no doubt this workshop is going to leave a lifelong learning to me. I believe everyone who is working in a social development sector, this training is the base for them. I am thankful to PRIA's facilitators for this workshop.
