Voices with Purpose – A Manual on Communication Strategies for Development and Social Change contains three complementary modules, the conceptual, participant’s and facilitator’s module, each designed with a specific purpose.

The purpose of the facilitator’s module is to support individuals in charge of facilitating workshops for organisations, or campaigns, engaged in the design and implementation of a communication strategy for development and social change. It provides a series of practical recommendations to be considered by facilitators who actively direct the learning process in group settings.

Facilitators are advised to use this module to plan and prepare workshops while making relevant adaptations based on the context in which the workshop will be facilitated, the needs and realities of participants, and the relevant experiences that each facilitator brings to the workshop. This module suggests activities and timeframes, which can be modified according to the availability of resources of the organisation receiving the training, the complexity of communication, social and development issues that constitute the focus of the workshop, or the scope of the strategy to be formulated. Depending on the workshops’ specific timeframes and needs, the sessions proposed in this module can be shortened, integrated or omitted.
