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 at the A-Z

pack.
