Discussion Guide
1. Girls and communities
1.1 To begin with, we want to understand what life is like for a typical community
● Tell me about what life is like here in your community?

● How has it changed over the last 5 years?
● Have flashcards with different topics on – health, money, opportunities, gender equality,
marriage, family dynamics, violence, employment, education, crime, voice, and rights.
Ask someone to pick a card at random and talk about that topic. Repeat until you have
gone through all the cards.
1.2 Now we want to hear more about girls. We want to know about their lives and what makes
them different/unique.
● Draw a picture of a girl on a flipchart
● Let's imagine this is a girl living in [insert area]. Tell us about her and her life…
o First, let’s give her a name…
o What does she do with her time? A typical day?
o What is her network like? Friends/family?
o What are her ambitions?
o What are her challenges?
o What does she enjoy and love more than anything?
o If she could change something what would it be?
o What does she hope and dream for the future?
o What does her future realistically look like?
o What is her relationship like with her family? Who is she closest to?
o Who does she share her secrets with?
2. Girls being interviewed

2.1 Let's imagine that you are interviewing this girl to understand about her life .
● How confident would she feel expressing her opinions?
o What could make her feel more confident/comfortable?
● How open would she be to sharing her thoughts?
o What could make her be more open and honest?
● What would she enjoy talking about/being interviewed about?
● What would she not like or be comfortable talking about?
● Ask the team to think of things that to do and not to do.

● Discuss as a group and collate a list of ‘dos and don’ts when interviewing girls’ on
flipcharts – bring in the main points from the previous discussion also to create a
condensed list of what contributes towards a good or bad interview with a girl
● Look at the list and discuss how this differs for other audiences:
● What about for adults? Is it the same / what’s different? → Write on other ideas in
another color
● What about for boys? Is this list the same / what’s different? → Write on other ideas in
another color
3. Imagining TEGA
You have heard all about what TEGA is and now you have a good idea of how it is meant to
work in communities. We want to understand what you think in general about it, your biggest
fears, as well as your hopes for TEGA.
3.1 GENERAL: What do you generally feel about TEGA?
- Have you heard of or have experience of the same before?
- What do you feel/think when you first hear/learn about it?
- What is your general expectation?
3.2 HOPES: Now take yourself 3 months into the future and imagine all has gone amazingly
well...

● Everyone to take 5 minutes to write their thoughts on post-it notes, then share as a
group.
- Probe: what was the community’s response to a digital methodology?
- Probe: how was it having girls in the field with phones, filming?
- Probe: what has TEGA achieved? How has it added value to Girl Effect?

Discussion Guide
1. Introduction – Girls as Advisors
Everyone to stand in a circle (including moderators and girls).
Moderator to outline the purpose of the session clearly to girls.
• We’re here to talk about what it’s like to be a girl and to understand girls' lives and
opinions. We will be playing games and doing activities to explore different topics
and issues relevant to girls – including their lives and a bit about mobile phones.
• This research will be used to design help for girls like you so it’s really important we
learn as much as possible about you and your lives – so you should feel confident
telling us all your thoughts!
• We will be doing various exercises where we ask your thoughts and opinions.
• Your thoughts and comments may be shared within our own organization, and our
partners’ – however what you say, write and share with us will be anonymi ed. Do
you know what that means? It means your name won’t be told to anyone.
• The research is being run on behalf of Girl Effect – an organization that believes in
the power of adolescent girls to change the world.
•
• Introduce the safeguarding person and explain if at any time during the workshop
you feel uncomfortable, or you have any concerns or worries, you can speak to her
about it.
• We really want your honest thoughts and opinions during the session – there are no
right or wrong answers and we hope everyone will have fun!
Reassure them that this is a safe environment, the objectivity of moderators and need for
honesty (NB – you can’t promise complete confidentiality in case of Child Protection issues –
mandatory reporting if girls report abuse, etc.)
Play a game with the girls – ask them to go to different sides of the room depending on which
they prefer.
• Point to each side of the room and say ‘this side is dancing; this side is singing’
• All girls should run to the side they like the most.
• Repeat this with other things, e.g. water or juice, chicken or rice, etc.
• Explain – as you can see, we all have different opinions, and that’s OK. We don’t
need to always think the same thing. Today we want you to tell us what you really
think, even if it’s different from each other. You don’t have to all agree.
Stay in the circle and ask…

● Does anyone know what an ‘advisor’ is?
● Encouragingly & gently emphasize that ‘advisors’ are people who have been selected
and are trusted to share their thoughts and opinions – advisors are honest and
thoughtful – they talk their minds without fear - and it’s an important role.
● Let girls know they have been specially selected to be our advisors and we’re delighted
to meet them! We want them to advise us what it is like to be a girl.
2. Girls’ lives
What’s it like to be a girl: persona exercise
2.1 Keep girls in two groups (ideally in their friendship groups)
• Explain you’d like them to bring to life a ‘typical’ girl from their community.
• It is important the girl is a ‘typical’ girl from their community – not a ‘special’ girl.
• Ask each group to draw an outline of a girl on a piece of flipchart paper. Explain
this girl is their age and she is like any other girl in the community – they could be
friends with her for example…
2.2 Ask girls to bring this girl to life by writing information about her…
• First, let’s give her a name…
• Who does she live with?
• What sorts of activities does this girl do each day?
• How many friends does she have? How does she communicate with her friends?
What do they talk about?
• What about her family – what family does she have and how does she
communicate with them?
• What does she do when she has a problem? Who does she go to?
• What does she do for fun?
• Probe around radio programs, TV programs, internet/social media, what
she reads, idols
• What is her favorite possession?
• Does she own a mobile? What does she use it for?
• Who controls/decides how much she uses her mobile? (Probe: parents,
brothers, etc.)
• What does she do on it?
• What would she love to do in her life? What does she want to be doing in 5
years’ time?
• What does she aspire to do when she is grown up?
• What will help her get there?
• What will stop her from getting there?
• How does she feel about that?
• How does she build her confidence?
• What are some of the challenges in her life? What does she find difficult?
• Each group to select a spokesperson to share their ‘girl persona’ with the other group -
giving lots of positive feedback/clapping [they can also share as a team].
3. Girls and mobile phones

Split back into the two groups.
3.1 Earlier, you said [insert persona girls’ name] owns a mobile phone.
o What do other people think about her having a mobile phone?
o How did she get a phone?
3.2 You said earlier that [insert persona girls’ name] does not have a mobile phone.
o Why did not she have a mobile phone?
o Has she ever used a mobile phone? Who se? What for?
o What does she think about girls who do have a mobile phone?
4. TEGA scenario testing

As a whole group.
Imagine a girl living in your community was coming into your home – she is a 20-year-old girl
and wants to get to know you. She wants to learn more about you and your life.
4.1 How would you feel about that?
4.2 Where would you want to talk to her?
o Probe: place in the house she feels most comfortable
4.3 What could she say or do to make you feel relaxed to talk to her?
o What information would you want from her to make you feel comfortable?
4.4 What would you want to talk to her about?
4.5 What wouldn’t you want to talk to her about?
o Probe: taboo topics
o Probe: what might your family or friends think?
4.6 Now imagine this girl uses a mobile phone to capture short videos or audio files from her
conversation with you.
Facilitators to demonstrate as a role play in which one is a TEGA and the other a respondent.
Use a mobile phone to
▪ Take a photo of the respondent
▪ Audio record her response
▪ Video her response
o How would you feel about that?
o What would you feel comfortable capturing?
o What wouldn’t you feel comfortable capturing?
5. Secret questions
Split the girls into two groups
Explain that we want to understand more about what girls want to know – what questions they
have in life, or what questions a teenage girl might have. The questions can be any big
questions or any little questions they have
Give the girls some post-its and ask them to write their questions on the post-its and put them in
the bowl (one question per post-it). Afterward, discuss the questions together as a group.
And for anything that is ‘secret’ – that girls do not want to share or discuss with the group, but
they think is important, these post-its can go in the ‘secret’ envelope.
Reassure that we are not looking for a particular answer – just complete the task with the same
honesty and enthusiasm as before.
Give the girls time and space to finish writing their post-its and put them in the bowls.
Ask the girls to take the bowls and stick their post-its up on the walls, in the two groups.
Ask girls to share and discuss each of the post-its in the two groups
5.1 Why do they have these questions?
5.2 Could they get this information from anywhere currently? Where?
5.3 What could they do with that information?
