There will be one project administrator, based at Shantona, with each partner having sessional workers responsible for outreach, recruitment of services users and supporting the delivery of the workshops. Sessional workers will be trained by skilled staff and facilitators for two days, prior to delivery of the workshops. The project will focus on each partner delivering 10 half day workshops within different areas and community round tablet discussions targeting diverse communities within their catchment area. All workshops will focus on common topic areas but each group will decide how they want to present and describe their findings at the follow up area community event. The workshops will use a range of engaging means to keep participants involved, this could include community film, photography, poetry, and storytelling. The community events will be facilitated for participants to share their findings from the themed workshops to a wider audience and to further widen discussions and debates amongst event audience.
