Methods Handbook for Youth Social Work
September 2006 (Uganda), reprinted 2009 (Germany)
GTZ (German technical cooperation)
A4 vertical, 112 pages, full colour
This is a compendium of games, exercises and techniques for the moderation of training and planning events with young people. My contribution was as co-author and designer. I was responsible for writing and editing the "Moderating" and "Tasks" chapters, as well as editing the short descriptions for each of the methods included. These were taken from a set of youth training modules previously developed by GTZ and its partners. To convert the modular training approach into a useable handbook, I had to devise a system of colour-coding, a thumb-index and cross-referencing to find appropriate methods and match them with specific tasks. I also worked with a local cartoonist, Dan Barongo, who provided excellent illustrations to enliven the manual. In the course of other assignments for GTZ's Promotion of Children and Youth project in Uganda, I was able to see the training modules in action (picture).
The book proved successful and the GTZ's Health Education and Social Protection division recently asked me to coordinate the reprinting of it in Germany for wider use in its partner countries.
