3.3.7.2 Workshop outcomes
It is anticipated that, by the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
a) explain climate change and its relationship to disaster risk reduction to communities in a way that is
accessible to all key stakeholder groupings;
b) facilitate interactive sessions with communities to discuss how climate change considerations can be
incorporated into existing or proposed disaster risk reduction initiatives;
c) use the Module and Handbooks effectively to conduct training in communities for community adaptation
responses;
d) apply a range of facilitation techniques and state when each might be most appropriate.
The workshop will be highly interactive and will model a wide range of facilitator tools and methods, which will
then be debriefed with participants to highlight and discuss when each may be most appropriate. Participants
will also be given opportunities to apply a selection of the techniques in sessions that they facilitate after small
group exercises. As with the Module, the techniques are likely to include:
Icebreakers and energisers
Audio-visual presentations and lectures
Large group discussions (in plenary)
Small group work and discussions
Questioning techniques
Brainstorming
Individual reflection
Practical exercises using participatory learning and action (PLA) tools
Case studies
Guiding questions for self-study
