Community leaders are extremely enthusiastic about the course. The majority return to their communities deeply committed to putting into effect what they have learned. A number are in the process of establishing shelters for abused women and children. Course materials touch on the core values of dignity, respect, equality, tolerance, and self-esteem as they apply to the daily lives of course participants. The emphasis on fundamental values creates a strong commitment.
Training is highly interactive.
Learning takes place through action. Participants are constantly involved in group dynamics. They play human rights and democracy games. There are role-plays and songs and small group discussions. There is hardly a moment during the three day course when participants are sitting listening to the trainers give them a lecture.
