Resources to orient, train and plan with programme teams implementing the Adolescent Kit

Three adolescent boys are sitting at a table with a piece of paper and pens resting on it. They are in a row facing the camera, and a young man is standing behind them, leaning over and talking with them. They are all smiling.

The Adolescent Kit guidance and tools are designed to be easy for anyone working with adolescents - and even adolescents themselves - to use with minimal additional formal orientation or training.

Programme coordinators, facilitators, trainers, and anyone else interested in the Adolescent Kit can use this website to explore and find all of the Kit the resources they need, and to learn approaches and strategies to use them with and for adolescents.

In some cases, programme coordinators preparing to use the Adolescent Kit may find it helpful to organize a preparatory workshop to support the managers, trainers, facilitators, and other volunteers or staff on their teams to explore, choose, adapt and use the Kit’s guides, tools, activities and supplies in a new or ongoing programme. The training package for the Adolescent Kit was developed for programme teams to use in a planning and training workshop to train facilitators who will and lead activities with and for adolescents, and to develop and implement plans to utilize the resources in the Adolescent Kit, adapting and addressing their plans to the needs and priorities of adolescents with whom they work, and to their programme goals and objectives.

Thee training package includes a Training Guide for a workshop that includes five modules, in each of which programme teams collaborate, plan and prepare for different aspects of using the Adolescent Kit. It also includes slide decks that programme leaders can use to plan and prepare for a training and workshop with their team and partners.
