Two-Week Workshops:
EARTHEN CONSTRUCTION AND FUEL-SAVING COOKSTOVES
PEDAL/TREADLE
POWER
SOLAR WATER HEATERS
SOLAR AGRICULTURAL DRYERS
The following calendar pages represent a suggested format for converting each of the four technical phases of this program into independent two-week workshops. In addition to technical sessions, each workshop contains selected core sessions related to training methodology, the role of the volunteer in development, health and nutrition, independent study, appropriate aids to communication and evaluation.
In designing each workshop, overseas trainers should consider the following recommended guidelines:
* Review the entire manual carefully and choose core sessions which meet country-specific needs.
* Wherever necessary, modify individual session procedures to account for the two-week format.
* As a basic reference in carrying out all suggested group dynamics activities, refer to Phase I: Session 12, "Construction of Earthen Block Molds - A- Focus on Group Dynamics."
* Review Phase I: Session 4, "Appropriate Educational and Learning Processes," and Phase I: Session 5. "Development of Facilitation Skills Criteria," and modify the procedures for both sessions so the objectives can be met in a four hour time period.
