Training trainers
The target group for this training course was defined by the possibility of our applicants to take back the knowledge acquired and teach sustainable sanitation and water management techniques within their work situation and context.

The method: Sarar Tranformation as REDICAs partner

Sarars mission consists in stimulating the transformation of conventional thought processes and actions related to water and sanitation in order to aim them towards more natural and holistic systems successfully closing the nutrient cycle and therefore diminishing world wide degradation. The ToT is planned according to the Sarar methodology and aims to transmit capacity building techniques onto our participants. Participants have participated in dynamic activities and have become both subjects and guiding agents. It is an open and interactive opportunity to become better at training adults and working closely with various communities in different geographical realities. The Sarar approach to knowledge has lead participants away from lectures and straight into practical exercises and exposed them to best practices.

For the upcoming four days participants will explore the various steps identified to improve the cycles around them. So far they have created exemplary projects, which will get profoundly developed during the week. One of the courses final products will be the development of the cases created by the participants themselves. Seecon has shared their Tool Box with them and they are now moving along the process of getting to know the Box and the perks of having access to such materials. Participants were guided though it at first and have been familiarizing with the technologies, tools and social components developed by Seecon. REDICA feels proud of the disposition of trainers in the Central American region. Luckily the group of participants is diverse enough to foresee positive impacts in several communities in need of sanitary management. Currently projects are being developed for urban, peri-urban, rural and dispersed rural settlements. The training course is highly practical and allows participants to work side-by-side with experts in the subjects, clearing doubts, assuring comprehension.

The application of technologies isnt enough in itself. Sanitation tools exist within a social context and its success depends on reception and appropriation.
