Session 8.5
PROJECT PLANNING
How to set up a peer group education programme
Introduction
This session is about how to set
up a peer group education programme and what action
to take.
Materials
• Copies of check-list
'Step by Step'
• Flipchart paper or wall
paper
• Coloured markers (thick)
Time
2 - 2.5 hours
Group size
10 - 25 people
Process
Form working groups of four. Ask
each group to select one possible action project that
they would like to consider carrying out. It is important
for the groups to have a clear starting point, a concrete
idea for a project. Give them a copy of the check-list
to help them to develop their peer group education
programme.
Ask the groups to note down their plans on a flipchart
considering each step in the process of the project.
These should be stuck to the walls so that others
can read them. Allow people to move around the room
to look at the plans. Finally, open up for general
discussion if you feel that useful points could be
made about some of the things shown.
Conclusion
This planning activity has its value
in getting people to plan the different steps and
to consider what may happen with their plans. It can
help ensure that idealistic ideas have a practical
and realistic root. The S.W.O.T. Analysis made of
the organisation can be used as a basis for the planning
work.
You will find more information about
project planning in Compass on page 276 of the section
on Taking
Action. If you want some ideas about what sort
of action you could take in your project then look
