Starting with Module 0
The following information will help you to understand how to use Module 0. Read the information and then click the button below to review the content of Module 0.
The purpose of Module 0 is to prepare participants for a shift from the generalities of interreligious dialogues to concrete actions. In order to successfully do this, participants must work as a group to establish ground rules and expectations for the Faith for Rights session. Module 0 will help them to do this.
Module 0 should be included as part of your initial Faith for Rights session.
While Module 0 is a complete module with its own Learning Objectives, Learning Paths, and Peer-to-Peer Activities, you will find that it is shorter and is intended to be an introductory session used in conjunction with any of the other Faith for Rights modules. If you are planning a 90-minute Faith for Rights session, Module 0 should take no longer than 30 minutes. If participants will be returning at a later date to participate in further Faith for Rights sessions, it is not necessary to repeat Module 0 for the same group.
The following outlines the Learning Path in Module 0. Following this sequence will enable participants to take ownership of their Faith for Rights experience and will create a respectful and productive environment.
- Introductory Round - Used to introduce participants and their expectations for the session.
- Activity Choice - The facilitator chooses one of the suggested peer-to-peer activities.
- Establishing Ground Rules - Participants work as a group to collectively determine ground rules for the session.
