    Training/ Learning Methodology and Approach
    This intensive training will utilize Adult Learning methodology, drawing from Paulo Freire and others. The participants will be guided in the use of personality profiles as important tools in learning management (participants are highly encouraged to bring their laptops to facilitate this). Participants will be required to fully contribute from their knowledge and reflections in peace, development, human rights, gender rights and humanitarian work, amongst other fields. The learning will, therefore, be experiential and will engage participants in individual tasks, group tasks, case studies, mini-lectures and role-plays and simulations, amongst others. The practical elements are designed to help the participants synthesize the learning and make it relevant to their contexts. Participants will also have the opportunity to design and do 'actual training' facilitation.

Training centre
The training will be held at the Convent International Guest House located in Nairobi's Convent Drive, off James Gichuru Road in Lavington. It is about 15 Kms from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. For more information, visit www.cigh.co.ke
