Each unit is divided into shorter sessions to retain the interest of participants and each session uses one or more teaching methodology. The Module will also incorporate a welcome and introduction session and a basic initial assessment of the entering knowledge and attitudes of participants. 3.4.4.6 Process for developing the Module The development of the Module will be done in a participatory manner and will again be implemented using a phased approach, to include: a) Submission on 9 August 2010 of a Module outline for review and approval in principle by CDEMA; b) first draft submitted for review by CDEMA and the CSSSC, to incorporate any feedback from the 13 July PSC meeting and in accordance with the timeline at Section 6 and Appendix 3); c) revised Module, based on comments received from CDEMA and the CSSSC, within two weeks of receipt of comments; d) testing of Module at two community workshops and the Training of Trainers workshop; e) final revision of Module, based on feedback at the workshops, including that of CDEMA, PSC or CSSSC members who attend the workshops, within two weeks of receipt of comments. 3.3.5. Development of Trainer’s and Participant’s Handbooks 3.3.5.1 Overview The Module will accompanied by two Handbooks: a) the Trainer’s Handbook, designed for use by facilitators and to include an overview of learning objectives and anticipated results, session plans, materials (including PowerPoint presentations, case studies and other resource materials); and evaluation instruments; b) the Participant’s Handbook, designed for use primarily by participants at facilitated workshops but also containing additional materials and resource lists that they can use after the workshop to extend their understanding of the issues and possible responses in building community resilience and adapting to climate change. As with the Module, the language used in the Handbooks will be simple and not assume prior scientific knowledge. 3.3.5.2 Target audience As noted above, the Trainer’s Handbook is primarily for use by community facilitators and animators who are working with community groups to develop disaster risk reduction plans. It can also be used as a complement to a community development planning process to ensure that the plans are climate proofed. The Module is intended for use by persons with some experience in facilitation and workshop design and delivery at the community level. The Participant’s Handbook is intended to be used by participants attending workshops based on the Module, both during the workshop and a resource afterwards. Although the language and approaches used will be appropriate to a community level and to different styles of learning, basic functional literacy will be necessary for participants to gain full benefit from the tools, methods and resources in the Participant’s Handbook. 3.3.5.3 Process of development of the Handbooks To ensure consistency of the pedagogical approach, and in view of the restricted timeframe for the consultancy, the Handbooks will be developed in tandem with the Module, rather than sequentially. They will be developed in a participatory manner and will again be implemented using a phased approach, to include: 12
a) first drafts submitted for review by CDEMA and the CSSSC, to incorporate any feedback from the 13 July PSC meeting or comments on the inception report, and in accordance with the timeline at Section 6 and Appendix 3); b) revised versions, based on comments received from CDEMA and the CSSSC, within two weeks of receipt of comments; c) testing and validation of the Handbooks at two community workshops and the Training of Trainers workshop; d) final revisions to the Handbooks, based on feedback at the workshops, including that of CDEMA, PSC or CSSSC members who attend the workshops, within two weeks of completion of the workshops. 3.3.6. Piloting of MCCCDRR and Tools (Handbooks and Module) CANARI will facilitate a two-day workshop in two selected communities, at which the Module and Handbooks will be tested and evaluated. The communities will be selected by CDEMA in consultation with IFRC. The selected communities will already have been working with the national Red Cross Society on disaster preparedness under guidance from the IFRC. The workshops are provisionally scheduled for delivery during the week of 18-22 October. Given the restricted timeframe for each workshop (two days) and limited financial resources available for consultant time and travel, CANARI has recommended and CDEMA has agreed that one community be selected in Jamaica and one in Trinidad and Tobago. This corresponds with the location of the proposed facilitators (respectively, Nicole Brown and Sarah McIntosh) and also enables close coordination between the facilitators and the national Red Cross Society. Additionally, both countries provide interesting examples of partnerships between a variety of stakeholders designed to increase climate change awareness and resilience. Based on the recommendation of the PSC, both communities will be vulnerable coastal communities. The mobilisation for the workshops will be coordinated by CDEMA, in conjunction with IFRC and the national Red Cross Societies. CDEMA will be responsible for all logistical arrangements including participant travel, accommodation, meals, selection of venue, securing of the necessary equipment etc. CDEMA will also provide CANARI with background and any baseline data (e.g. the VCA and community disaster plan) that are available for the selected communities. As noted in the design of the Module, CANARI will draw on its extensive 30-year history of facilitating community processes and capacity building, to facilitate the workshops in a highly interactive manner, drawing and building on participants’ existing knowledge and skills and applying the learning to the real-life situation of the community. A range of facilitation techniques will be used to ensure that the training appeals to different learning styles. CANARI recommends that: a) a maximum of 30 persons be selected in each community to ensure that the workshop can be truly interactive and provide opportunities for everyone to participate fully; b) the selection of individuals and organisations include, where possible, representatives of all the most vulnerable groupings in the community, and that there be a good mix of men and women, young and old; c) at least two persons be selected from any participating organisation to facilitate application of learning within the organisation after the workshop is over (one person alone may have difficulty facilitating change within the organisation and/or may leave without having transferred the skills and knowledge to others); d) all participants have basic literacy and numeracy skills to ensure that they can make full use of the Handbook (and that it can be effectively evaluated) and take part in any exercises that require reading or writing; 13
