The training focused on strengthening animators’ understanding of SAMVAD content and facilitation processes, while building their confidence and skills to lead meaningful, participatory sessions at the community level.

 

Through group work, role plays, games, storytelling, case studies, PRA exercises, social mapping, reflection, meditation and mock SAMVAD sessions, participants gained practical, hands-on experience in creating safe and engaging spaces for dialogue and learning. The training also equipped animators to identify community issues, facilitate constructive discussions, and connect communities with relevant stakeholders and local government, helping turn dialogue into collective action.
