Orphans and Vulnerable Children - CRIN

Workshop materials

Prepare your materials and workshop aids well in advance. Each activity has an indication of

materials needed. However, some common requirements are:

 Flipcharts, newsprint or other very large sheets of paper.

 Markers, pens, coloured pencils or crayons.

 ‘Blu-tak’ or prestik, masking tape to stick flipchart sheets of paper to the wall.

 Copies of handouts: Make sure these are chosen, written or adapted in good time and that

you have enough copies for all participants and facilitators. If you have written new materials

such as case studies, work through them to make sure they are clear and contain relevant

information.

 Small sheets of paper, index cards or post-its.

 A good supply of A4 paper for individual work.

You may also need:

 An overhead projector and videos; slides and a slide projector. These will make your training

more interesting, but are not indispensable. No activities in this guide advocate such elaborate

resources, but if you do want use them, make certain you know how to use them and that

they are in proper working order. Have a trial run to check beforehand.

 Other materials specific to an activity, for example, materials for role-plays, photos or print

resources such as brochures or pamphlets, as specified in a particular activity.
