A Facilitator’s Manual for CRS Employees and Partners on HIV and AIDS
This manual contains a sequence of learning activities that a skilled facilitator can use with CRS employees and partners in a workshop setting. The aim is to help workshop participants to explore their own personal attitudes, beliefs and values around HIV and AIDS. The manual is designed for use in Sub-Saharan Africa, but can be adapted for CRS staff and partners in other regions. Eight themes are included in the manual and each theme has two to ten associated learning tasks. This manual incorporates effective, participatory adult learning principles and practices. These include dialogue, problem-posing, respect and creation of a safe learning environment.
