2. Notes to trainers
In all activities, employ participatory approach so that audience/participants will learn things by doing
Use this module
Ensure that the minimum data requirement to produce our project plan is considered (check templates and list of activities)
You can collect other data if you like but make sure you covered all the minimum
Insert breaks between sessions
Insert warm-ups and ensure activities are fun
Identify co-facilitators/team leaders to assist you during the 2 and a half day workshop
Ensure all materials are ready: printed materials, templates, meta cards, manila papers, projector, laptop, electricity,
Use attendance sheets
Take photos highlighting activities
Create action plan for next steps: validation, creative presentation of data, validation, planning and monitoring (persons involve, date, budget, expected output)
Ensure availability of trainers (2-3)

3. Cont..Notes to Trainers
Involve participants in preparation stage (administrative and logistical concerns)
Assign participants to lead in teams based on their skills during the field work stage
Invite participants who represents sectors in the community to encourage coaching and peer learning
Ensure accessibility of training venue and acceptability of day and time
Schedule physically demanding activities in the morning where energies if higher than in the afternoon
Schedule activities in times of good weather conditions for underwater surveys
Make the training as interesting and fun (provide simple instructions for ice breakers, warm-ups and breaks between sessions are important)
Conduct courtesy calls and briefings with local government officials/leaders regarding the objectives and outputs of the workshop (local leaders/ and officials buy in).
Make an initial visit to get a general feel of village and community to familiarize with the local characteristics and features.
Familiarize the vicinity where to conduct field activities and the key informants
Encourage sectoral groups and the general public in the village to actively participate during the PCRA activities
Encourage leaders/officials to invite participants
Appointments with key informants must be confirmed

4. Cont..Notes to Trainers
Explanation and discussion of each tools can be done in a plenary simultaneously with several groups (it depends on the number of facilitators and participants)
Practice sessions is necessary before the actual activities
Inform the participants that they will be going to the field
Group the participants according to the major activities (FGDs, habitat assessment, fish visual census)
For the habitat assessment and FVC, it is advisable to include fisher’s
For the FGD, it is recommended that you have a combination of women, fishers, youth and Barangay officials
Advice participants to wear casual clothing, bring extra clothes, wear comfortable shoes, bring traditional goggles and fins if not comfortable with commercial ones
Be on time

Complete PCRA tools (8 FGDs and community reef survey)
Conduct initial compilation and analysis
Get community feedback
Finalize profile (This goes to your BROP)
Use profile in planning (3rd University phase)

6. Atong tool: FGD
FGDs are conducted to discuss specific topics or issues in detail. A small group of people (10-15 per group) who are knowledgeable or interested in the topic are invited to participate in the discussions. FGDs are generally effective to generate information about specific topics or issues. A facilitator is chosen to ensure the discussion does not stray too far from the intended topic and that no one participant dominates the discussion. A documenter is also necessary to ensure that information/data generated during the discussion are noted down. Group FGDs require advance planning. We will employ the FGD tool in gathering all information relating to fisheries, socio-economic, diagramming (trend and calendar) and resource mapping (fishers, gleaners and MPA).
