Group discussions as a means to build on the participants’ expertise

There are many tools which allow for an active participation of trainees, such as the “buzz” technique, the use of photos, of mini presentation by the participants, tasks performed in small groups and then presented to the whole audience, etc.

A website built by UNICEF gives a whole array of interactive tools:
