Bjoern, the headings here need to be reorganised to make it clearer. I don't know how to change the heading hierarchy. The way it is currently formatted gives the impression that italicised lines below form the sub-headings for Session 1, but this is not the case. Ie: it looks as though 'qualitative research' should be the name of a section below, but it isn't. Also, the 'qualitative research' section appears to belong to 'Session 2'. Perhaps moving it across would fix this issue, though this seems to be where 'sessions' and 'days' have been confused. The activity on 'good qualitative research' is part of the same day, but organised as a different session. Hence, should the associated 'handouts' and 'readings' for this should be moved to 'session 2'? Arathi </u>
 
Arathi - it seems indeed that some of the session 2 material has spilled over into session 1, by way of day vs. session confusion. However, it was like this in the original document. Perhaps you could re-edit this as you see fit? I've put in some suggestions (underlined). [[User:Bjoern|Bjoern]] 19:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

* Point out that this training programme provides an opportunity to practice various skills, not only within sessions but also tasks outside of the sessions that have been scripted. Engaging with workshop activities is essential as all sessions are heavily interlinked. Ask that everyone who attends takes part in all the activities. As the facilitator, make sure that no-one should sit around and watch while others do things (like role-playing in interviews) that might be embarrassing.

Explain that you want participants to agree on a set of guidelines, to help us all to work together in a productive and harmonious manner. Guidelines can help people to work better together, in a way that is fair and respectful to everyone's needs and contributions. Guidelines can help everyone feel <u>comfortable</u> in a group which is essential for successful learning.

Divide people into 'buzz groups' of three or four, and ask them to make a list of all the things they think should be included in the guidelines.

Check your own list (provided in facilitator's notes) and see if there are any items that you think are important but have not been identified by the groups. Consult with the participants: should these suggestions be included in the final list, or not?

Discuss the guidelines, allowing time for comments and questions. Does anyone think that any of the guidelines need to be amended or even removed from the list? How do other people feel about it?

A final agreed list should be written on a flip chart and permanently displayed on the wall of the room. Here we have suggested such a list based on our own experiences at various workshops.

Here is an example of such a list, that emerged from discussions in one of our own workshops:
