Participatory Training and

Community Education
 Training
-training has always been viewed as a
learning process - learning of new skills,
concepts and behaviour. As such, it is an
educational activity.
 Participatory Training
• Sees be seen as a non-formal, on-going education process,
in which both trainers and trainees learn from each other
• Aimed at building the learners' confidence in their
capacity to observe, criticise, analyse and figure things out
for themselves
• It enables an individual not only to deal effectively with
others, but also to understand oneself in terms of needs,
feelings, motivations and past experiences.
The 3 steps in Participatory Training Process

• Pre-training Phase - focuses on designing of the training

programme.
• Training Phase - focus is on group facilitation,
• debriefing and consolidation, and creating a conducive
learning environment.
• Post Training Phase - includes such steps as evaluation,
follow-up and report writing.
