Activity design and choosing methods

Teave

In the following introductory video, you can explore some primary and hopefully practical considerations when designing activities. There are three aspects the video focuses on: 
How to choose methods for a learning activity.
What does it mean to create and hold space for participants?
How to develop further as a trainer.
﻿
﻿
Below, we share some of the considerations that trainers and facilitators must consider when planning learning activities and choosing methods.
﻿
PARTICIPANTS -  What are the profile, needs, abilities and interests of your participants?
FACILITATORS - What are your expertise and preferences of you as facilitators??
MOTIVATION - What is your motivation for doing the workshop?
CONTEXT - What is the environment where your workshop will be happening?
SETTING - What space, time, resources, and equipment will be needed/available?
SEQUENCE - What activities do come before and after the workshop?
METHODS What will you choose?
OUTCOMES - What do you want your participants to achieve during the workshop?
﻿
The above is adapted from the T-kit Training Essential, which provides a comprihensive overview of how to design learning activities and choose methods. See the fish model below and download the complete explanation of how to apply it to practice.
﻿
 
Now that you are familiar with activity design principles and how to choose methods, complete the training script for a session or a workshop to be implemented in the (international) training activity in the youth work field. Download the training script template to use.
