Using a simple language and process, the purpose of this training of trainers (ToT) manual is to prepare trainers to present the concepts of transforming conflict and building peace. It is advised that trainers using the manual ensure that they have a good grounding in knowledge relevant to the subject. Suggested programme session objectives, schedules, training methods, activities and materials should be seen as being flexible, and to be adapted to local context and participant needs as appropriate.
The manual is designed for training trainers in a five-day workshop and uses a mixture of presentations, small group work, plenary discussions, participant presentations, role-plays and energisers. Trainers will be expected to adapt the content and timing for delivering each module when delivering training to project participants. The content is organised into six modules as follows: (1) Exploring our context: Participatory conflict analysis; (2) Conflict sensitivity; (3) Dialogue: mediation, negotiation and peacebuilding; (4) Advocacy for conflict transformation; (5) Understanding and measuring change; and (6) Community-driven initiatives for peace and security.
Each module in the manual begins with the aims and an overview of the module. The module is divided into a number of sessions, which are then divided into exercises that involve a mixture of trainer presentations, small group work, group discussions and role-plays. There are also places where the trainers take the lead with a presentation to introduce a concept or set the scene for the exercise. In most sessions there are also trainer's tips which are in grey boxes and handouts which can be found at the end of each module.
