How to use this website

This website consists of different stages the project team has to work through. These stages include several types of group activities, such as:

  • Sensitization activities, such as embedded slides and videos
  • Practical team work
  • A survey activity
  • Reflection activities

We suggest that you, as a facilitator, first click through all of the stages and activities, without filling in anything, so that you understand the flow of the tool.
