The manual is based on personal experiences gathered while conducting workshops and training programmes across South and Central Asia and Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Using these sessions, the trainer will be able to run a 3-day session on Child Rights Programming. The introductory manual is aimed at furthering capacity of professional development on Child Rights Programming. The documentation and writing team comprised of experienced trainers from varied backgrounds, with all biased towards experiential learning. In the beginning of each training module you can find a rationale and overview, its objectives, a suggested time-frame, and a session plan. In some of the modules, we have provided alternative sessions which can be useful in addressing different groups. Each session plan starts with a brief description of the session, including objective(s), duration, training method(s) and materials, along with reference to suggested handouts and overheads. This is followed by a detailed description of the process.
