Learning Conversations use stories, skits, plays, songs, and other methods to address real-life, everyday problems, to empower savings group members to identify solutions. Solutions are discussed within the group and shared with family and friends. As women and girls report back on action they've taken, success and positive behavior changes are reinforced.
Learning Conversations are an education methodology especially designed for non-text-based learners, enabling those who are illiterate to receive critical knowledge and skills.

"The one thing that surprised me about the experience of being in the group is the importance of sharing our knowledge and putting it into use.

Adolescent girls benefit from the same kinds of learning their mothers, aunts, and older sisters receive. Fun, engaging, and geared to their unique needs, Learning Games provide girls safe space and the support of their peers to protect and strengthen their physical, financial and social well-being.
Learning Games for Girls can be delivered as a series, during regular visits to the community, or a community worker can choose to deliver only one session from the series.
Each learning game is designed to link the topic of the session to girls' daily lives through an introductory, thought-provoking question, riddle, example or story. The girls then explore the issue further through stories, skits, visuals, songs, and games derived from popular forms of play.

Girls apply the information or skill at the end of the game to ensure they have absorbed the new learning and can practice it at home and share with others. Creating plans, practicing skills, and identifying solutions to a specific problem are all examples of opportunities to apply learning that are embedded in the design of the games. Learning Games help girls grow into confident, capable decision-makers who can lead change in their families and communities. Training topics include: |
