Community level training

Our community level training equips participants to create a child-friendly atmosphere and environment in which children can thrive. We utilise our Base Pack equipment resource to teach a range of games and activities and emphasise best practice for leadership, coaching, safeguarding and child protection.

Our training focusses on 7 core principles

Our training also emphasises our ABC for coaching so that participants can ADAPT their sessions, manage BEHAVIOUR and COMMUNICATE effectively with children and young people

The training is highly interactive and experiential in nature – with participants experiencing the games, ideas and techniques first-hand, and then reflecting on how they can deliver a similar experience for the children and young people that they work with.

Designed to be highly transferable and adaptable to any context, the training equips leaders, whatever their background or experience, to provide fun, informative and inclusive activity sessions that children and young people will really enjoy. It also helps leaders and organisations to incorporate and communicate educational content in fun and engaging ways.

Of the schools which had inducted teachers to the active games and child-friendly programming training, 70% reported a high-level of enthusiasm from their teachers and school volunteers. The Base Pack activities empowered more individuals to lead child-friendly activities and lessons, which positively reduced the work load on sports teachers who also have to deliver academic teaching.

We do all sorts of community development interventions to improve children’s wellbeing but it was rare to see a child smile during this process until we started using the Base Pack to create a fun environment. You can do monitoring of children's wellbeing on paper but you will only capture the symptoms - it’s when you introduce games that you get to understand the real issues children are facing. Those that are feeling pain, isolated and living under fear will begin to open up and in turn get help. Grace Nassali, World Vision Uganda
We are always looking for new ways to engage the children we serve more effectively and appropriately. The KV training inspired our staff and provided practical and fun ways to connect with children and enhance our existing programs. Dimuna Moomba, Sponsorship Manager, Zambia
In my 13 years in Child Sponsorship it was the first time to hear a child say that they want to be either a minister or pilot when they grow up. The KV training has provided us with practical tools that can be used to collect data. Dalitso Chilemba, Sponsorship Manager, Mozambique
