"This module provides methodological support for the facilitation of workshops aimed at assisting social, community, state and non-governmental organisations in the formulation of communication strategies for development and social change. Facilitators are advised to use this module to plan and prepare workshops while making relevant adaptations based on the context in which the workshop will be facilitated, the needs and realities of participants, and the relevant experiences that each facilitator brings to the workshop. This module suggests activities and timeframes, which can be modified according to the availability of resources of the organisation receiving the training, the complexity of communication, social and development issues that constitute the focus of the workshop, or the scope of the strategy to be formulated."
