Module 4: Using Learning Paths and Peer-to-Peer Activities

Using Learning Paths and Peer-to-Peer Activities

Overview

This Faith for Rights resource is structured in the following manner:

  • Modules

The Faith for Rights toolkit contains 18 modules. This online resource presently contains 5 of those modules

  •  Learning Paths

This resource contains 3 to 4 fully developed Learning Paths for each module. These carefully sequenced combinations of peer-to-peer activities are comprised of ready to use content.

  • Peer-to-Peer Activities

Learning exercises that are designed to help participants learn and think critically about the topic contained in the module. 

Learning Paths

This resource contains 3 to 4 fully developed Learning Paths for each module. These Learning Paths are made up of Peer-to-Peer activities that are carefully sequenced in order to meet a specific learning goal. Each Learning Path is intended to encompass a Faith for Rights session of approximately 90 minutes. A facilitator should use only one Learning Path during a session. Adjustments to the Learning Path may be made at the facilitator’s discretion. 

Learning Paths are intended to 1) Activate participants’ current knowledge of a topic, 2) Allow participants to demonstrate and apply that knowledge, and 3) Provide a way for participants to integrate what they learn into their individual context. 

A facilitator may want to choose a Learning Path:

Peer-to-Peer Activities

The Peer-to-Peer activity is the core of the Faith for Rights program. These learning exercises are interactive and should be adapted to local needs. All of the Learning Paths are made up of Peer-to-Peer activities. A facilitator is free to use and adapt any of the Peer-to-Peer activities in their Faith for Rights session. Any of the Peer-to-Peer activities contained within a learning path can be exchanged for a different Peer-to-Peer activity according to local context, the desire of the facilitator, or the needs of the participants. A complete list of Peer-to-Peer activities for each module is located at the end of the module. 

From #Faith4Rights Toolkit

The Faith for Rights toolkit aims at translating the “Faith for Rights” framework into practical peer-to-peer learning and enriching capacity-building programmes. It contains 18 learning modules, mirroring each of the commitments on “Faith for Rights”. These modules offer concrete ideas for learning exercises, for example how to unpack the 18 commitments, share personal stories, search for additional religious quotes or provide for inspiring examples of artistic expressions. The whole concept is interactive, result-oriented and conducive to critical thinking. The toolkit is open for adaptation by facilitators in order to tailor the modules to the specific context of the participants.
