Resource material developed as part of training efforts ...
Each activity in a training facilitates a process of collective learning, to which, both the participants and facilitators bring their respective experiences, understanding, knowledge and local, creative skills. Some of the innovative materials that emerged through these processes have been developed as training aids that have assisted both Sama and other organisations / groups in their work.
The Fertility Wheel ...
Originally developed in response to concerns regarding reproductive and sexual health during our trainings with community based activists in Andhra Pradesh, the fertility wheel is an innovative and effective aid that helps to explore, demystify and overcome the silence regarding issues surrounding menstruation, infertility, contraception and conception. It has been developed in Hindi, English and Telugu for wider dissemination.
Jampai (Orchid in Mishing) ...
Jampai is a creative expression of enriching experiences and information acquired by the activists from Sama’s training on health, gender and rights in the North Eastern Region. A wallpaper with varied features on health, Jampai is a collage of pictures, stories and expressions that explore various dimensions of the everyday lived reality of people. The novelty and appeal of the wallpaper helped the activists to create spaces for discussions in their respective communities and to disseminate skills and understandings. It was also developed in Hindi and has been used widely in our trainings in various states.
