Questions to consider when putting together your own set of supplies, or replacing items in the Supply Kit
Consider the questions below when putting together your own set of supplies, or replacing items in the Supply Kit.
- Are the supplies appropriate within the religious, traditional and cultural context? Avoid any items that might cause confusion or misunderstanding within the community.
- Are there items that will appeal to both adolescent girls and boys, to different age groups, to diverse ethnic and language groups and to adolescents with disabilities? Try to be as inclusive as possible with your supplies!
- Could any of the items be easily damaged within the particular physical environment? Avoid items that will break, tear or fall apart too easily.
- Are the supplies safe, and of reasonable quality? Try to find supplies that meet standards of good quality and safe use (e.g. avoid items made with toxic paint or materials) and stay away from very sharp or dangerous items that could cut or harm adolescents.
- Are the supplies easy to carry and store? Make sure that the supplies aren’t too heavy or cumbersome to pack into the Supply Kit (or whatever container you are using for supplies), or to transport to different locations for activities with adolescents.
- Will you be able to restock these items easily? Try to include supplies that you can easily and quickly replenish when they run out – either by buying them in local markets (paper, pencils, etc.) or collecting them from the environment (stones, sticks, empty plastic bottles).
