Session T-3: Special projects

Time: 4 PM

Goals:

· To introduce special projects. Explain in detail how they are to be done, and when. (Important for trainees to see how special projects are integrated into schedule of training.)

· Have trainees choose one project from special group projects to lead and take responsibility for

· Have trainees choose three individual special projects overview

The purpose of all special projects is to identify those participants with special skills and have them assume responsibility for transferring those skills during training program; and to give all participants special assignments which are problem solving exercises that they will have to complete during training. For trainees to use materials made available for their use in the resource library.

Materials:

· Newsprint with projects listed (trainer responsible for project and space for trainee to sign up.) Date that project is due is also listed

Trainer's Notes:

This session is confusing for trainees and has to be gone over several times. Should be checked again at beginning of next session.

SPECIAL PROJECTS AND SPECIAL GROUP PROJECTS

The following is a listing of the special projects and special group projects used in the pilot training program. Special projects are worked on individually; special group projects, although one trainee signs up as group leader, involve any number of trainees on a volunteer basis. Depending on the size of the group and the level of marine fisheries development in the countries of assignment, the technical trainer may wish to add to or delete from these lists. A trainer will act as advisor for each project.

In presenting the lists (with the sign-up sheet, the due date, and the trainer advisor), it is important that a brief description of the project and requirements be given. Special group projects, unless otherwise noted, each require a write-up of the project for the Trainees' Resource cook (described below) including necessary charts, diagrams, and references. Special project write-ups fall under three headings:

· List A - projects which will require written reports along with essential diagrams, charts, and reference;
· List B - projects which will require diagrams with "how-to" steps, essential charts and references; and,
· List C - projects which will require only a list of references.

Because project write-ups most likely will not be typed, they must be concise and clearly written in black ink in order to provide a good photocopy for the Trainees' Resource Book.

The Trainees' Resource Book is a compilation of the special project and special group project write-ups. Not only does it afford trainees the opportunity to practice putting their knowledge and experience into writing in an easy-to-follow, how-to format; it also provides them with a valuable reference in the field.

The trainee who chooses the Trainees' Resource Book as a special project will be responsible for the following:

· presenting the write-up formats for each list to the trainees;
· setting deadlines for write-up completions,
· Manual cover design;
· Table of Contents; and,
· photocopying.

Special Group Project: Languages

Time: 15 Minutes

Goals:

· To expose trainees to language training
· To acquaint trainees with the languages in their countries of assignment
· To show trainees that language learning can be fun and rewarding
· For trainee assigned the special group project to build on leadership, communication and technology transfer skills

Overview:

Many people experience anxieties around learning a new language. The few minutes spent each morning during technical training learning a few new words or phrases in French, Spanish or Swahili will insure a smooth transition to in-country language training on the part of the trainee. The daily language lessons should be no more than 10 or 15 minutes, and the content should be limited to the very basics, i.e., days of the week, numbers, colors, market items, how to ask directions, how to order in a restaurant, vocabulary for fishing gear, etc. In other words, building vocabulary is emphasized more than grammar.

Activities:

1. Trainee assigned the special group project organizes daily language lessons, alternating among the languages of the countries of assignment.

Trainer's Notes

In the pilot program held in Puerto Real, Puerto Rico, the daily language lesson was Spanish - even though none of the trainees were going to Spanish-speaking countries. It was the feeling of the training staff during the pilot program, that the importance of learning the local language - regardless of the length of time one spends in a place - needs to be emphasized and reinforced throughout the training. Trainees in the pilot program were very positive about the Spanish lessons, and were pleased with their progress over the eight weeks of training, progress which was evident to them in their day-to-day interactions with people in Puerto Real.
