CA C 1 - Raising Voices

CAC 3
group about their involvement in preventing domestic violence since the last workshop. The
presentations could include:
● objectives
● key activities implemented
● 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.
Activity 3.3 Lessons Learned (1 hour)
Objective
■ Identify lessons learned from implementing Action Plans.
Steps
1. Divide the participants into groups of four or five.
2. Ask each group to look back to their notes from Workshops 1 and 2 and, with their notes and what
they learned from the participants’ presentations (Activity 3.2), identify 6 to 10 key things they have
learned about preventing domestic violence throughout the time you have been working together.
3. Ask each group to present their work to the main group.
4. In the main group, create a final list of 6 to 10 things the entire group has learned throughout the
process.
5. If time allows, 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.
6. Ask each group to present their work to the main group.
Tip As an alternative instead of the learning materials, they could write a letter to the participants of
the next workshop who may be from the same or similar sector/community.
