Preparations
CAC 2
■ Ask each participant to prepare a short (5-7 minutes) presentation to share with the rest of the
group about their experience of implementing her/his Action Plan since the last workshop. The
presentations could include:
● objectives
● important achievements
● any challenges or problems
● lessons learned from their experience
Steps
1. Explain that before moving forward, it is important to share the experiences that each participant
has had implementing their Action Plan and working to prevent domestic violence in the
workplace/ community.
2. Listen to the presentations.
3. After each presentation, invite other participants to ask questions and make comments. Ensure the
participants focus on the key points listed above. Ask clarifying questions and request more
information to help other participants understand the presenter’s work.
4. Continue sharing experiences until all the participants have had an opportunity to talk about their
work. This activity is likely to take more than 45 minutes. You may choose to use some of the time
allocated for Activity 2.3.
Activity 2.3 Lessons Learned (2 hrs)
Objective
■ Identify lessons learned from implementing Action Plans.
Steps
1. Divide the participants into smaller groups of four or five (cluster participants from same or similar
workplaces or residential areas) and ask them to identify five key lessons learned based on all the
presentations.
2. Once they have identified the key lessons learned, ask them to design a poster or any other
learning material that will help them communicate these lessons learned to future workshop
participants. For example, health sector workers may develop a poster that reads “If you want to
prevent violence in your workplace, get your supervisor involved, sensitize your colleagues, develop
posters for your department, suggest practical things your colleagues can do!” Provide flipchart,
marker pens, crayons, glue, and a stapler for this exercise.
Tip As an alternative, instead of posters, they could write a letter to the participants of the next
workshop who may be from the same or similar sector/community.
3. Ask each group to present their work to the main group and discuss.
