This facilitator handbook has been developed to accompany the Promoting Social Cohesion and Peaceful Coexistence in Fragile Contexts through TVET guide and programme to help trainers and facilitators integrate participatory/experiential learning approaches during the planning and delivery of the training of trainers programme.

The handbook is divided into two parts. Part one focuses on key skills and frameworks for trainers and facilitators, covering concepts, such as: understanding the differences between training and facilitation, how to maximise participation and experiential learning, working with different learning styles, creating an enabling learning environment and a basic introduction to competency frameworks. Part two is the outline of a 4-day workshop, including all materials and handouts, set out on a day-by-day basis, that aims to increase participants’ skills, knowledge and confidence in facilitating core skills in social cohesion so that they can include social cohesion elements into their curricula in skills development.
