(The rationale establishes the context of the training and substantiates the need for the

training.)

II. Objectives

(What does the training want to achieve in relation to the problems and needs of the

training participants?)

III. Activity Design

A. Threads (in general, what key values integrate all activities)

B. Themes (what key topics or concepts will be discussed)

C. Input-Process-Output (relationship of topics, methods and target outcomes)

The design may be constructed in terms of the Input-Process-Output (IPO). The Input shows the

concepts that we hope to cover, the Process shows what types of activities will be used, and the Output

itemizes what we expect them to accomplish.

B. Sample of Training Design

San Fabian (Pangasinan) Sangguniang Kabataan Formation and Training Program

I. Rationale

A major building block of the country is its youth since they are the inheritors of the present

generation and the architects of the country’s future. It is for this reason that the participation of the

youth in governance is being harnessed through the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). Through the SK, it

is hoped that the youth will appreciate their role in community growth and eventually,

nation-building.

For the SK to be effective, it is necessary that they undergo capacity building activities that

will sharpen their skills in constituency building and sector mobilization. This training program

hopes to equip the SK officers and other youth of selected barangays in San Fabian, Pangasinan with

the tools necessary to become active participants in their communities.

The training program is a collaboration of the municipal government of San Fabian, SK

councils of San Fabian, NetWorks Inc., and UPLB Pahinungód. The municipal government of San

Fabian has been very eager to involve the SK councils in development initiatives that will strengthen

its inter-barangay integrated programs for productive and progressive people and communities. The

SK councils, however, feel that they lack some competencies and capabilities to assume

responsibilities in these initiatives. To address this issue, this training program has been organized.

II. Goal

The training program aims to equip the SK officials with understanding of and capabilities in:

Good youth leadership in their community;

Coordination and facilitation of meetings and projects; and

Youth participation in community development.

III. Activity Design

There are four main running threads and three major themes that integrate the activities,

discussions and exercises in the training program. These are summarized in Table 1. Meanwhile, the

inputs that will be given emphasis, process that the participants will undergo, and outputs expected to

be produced are summarized in Table 2.

(3)

A. The four running threads

of the training program are as follows:

Valuing of self

Teamwork

Community consciousness

Service

B. The activity has three themes

, namely:

Ako at Tayo: focuses on knowing one’s self and others leading towards understanding

the value of teamwork and how it can be done

Tayong Kabataan at Komunidad: teamwork will be applied in the community context

specifically as applied to the youth sector; why the youth are important, the value of

community, and the mechanics of the SK will be covered by this theme

Tungo sa Pag-unlad: builds on the previous two themes and focuses on how the youth

can take part in the growth of the community
