Trainer Notes

In this session, groups formed in Phase III: Session I will present the results of their investigations into maternal and child health topics. The planning for this session was done in Part 1 (Phase III: Session 1). The groups are expected to use "The Four Roles for a Structured Meeting" as a format for their presentations.

Step 1. (5 minutes)

Briefly introduce the session objectives and outline the activities.

Step 2. (5 minutes)

List the order of the presentations on newsprint and post the presentation guidelines (See Phase III: Session 1, Step 8).

Step 3. (one hour, 30 minutes)

Have the groups give their presentations.

Step 4. (20 minutes)

Discuss the presentations and the success in meeting the session objectives.

Trainer Notes

Have the recorders present their notes from the presentation and ask each process observer to comment on the meeting.

Discuss the sesion by raising the following questions:

* Did speakers keep to the issues and follow presentation guidelines?

* How do you feel about your role as a Volunteer in relation to issues raised?

* To what degree can we generalize about each of these issues?

* Did you learn about issues (or parts thereof) previous, unknown to you?

* What were effective ways people presented information?
