WHY I FOUND THIS GUIDE USEFUL?
-
For those who are relatively new to facilitating trainings on YPS (Youth Peace and Security), it is an invaluable resource which walks you through the recommended approach and covers every step of the way.
-
For more advanced trainers and educators, it is just as useful. It compiles with relevant resources and each section can be used independently.
-
It begins with a grounding in the main concepts related to YPS, as well as both the principles and methodologies of non-formal education. It then sets out in depth the processes involved in designing a programme.
-
Perhaps the most useful aspect is a section of templates, with session outlines and examples of real programmes that can be adapted for use.
IN WHICH CONTEXT DID I USE IT?
I FOUND IT WORKED…
-
As it is based on lessons learned from experience in designing and delivering trainings, as well as extensive information gathering and research, it is clearly well thought out and based on a thorough needs assessment.
-
The progress study ‘The Missing Peace’ emphasises that in practice, certain groups of youth - including those in conflict affected areas, refugees etc, have been excluded and this guide does all it can to counter this.
I FOUND IT LACKS…
-
Refreshingly, this is a culturally sensitive guide, unlike any other I’ve found/used previously and avoids the criticisms that can be levelled at some materials. The author avoids a Eurocentric perspective and does much to emphasise that youth are not a homogenous group.
