Learner’s view
Watch Parinita Bhattacharjee share her experience taking the ‘How to Succeed at VAW Prevention’ course in the Learning Lab.
The content is of high quality and is backed up by evidence and draws from real life experiences of all participants. It was brilliantly packaged for easiest absorption and application. All the tools were undeniably useful.

How to Succeed at VAW Prevention
I will borrow some content from the hand-outs to develop customised training content on prevention of VAW for the local community in Coastal Kenya

Prevention Essentials
The course content was very clear and well organised in a relatively short time to cover key concepts and examples. The introduction of different approaches addressing [violence against women and violence against children] simultaneously was very helpful, together with case studies in different countries. This is because we can use those approaches adopted to our context by exploring the components of each programme

Working at the Intersection of Violence against Women and Children
I have learnt a lot from taking this course, I want to appreciate the effort of the facilitators. The most useful part of the course for me is applying this strategy because it gives me an insight on how our organisation can effectively apply this strategy.
Course Participant, Nigeria
Working with Couples
It has helped me start to reflect on power. I have also learnt how I can reflect on my own beliefs and behaviours and use that to challenge negative social norms. By reflecting on these, I am better able to train the community on behaviour change as regards [gender-based violence/violence against women and girls].

Starting with Ourselves
The examples and video case studies were helpful to ground theory in practice. Really enjoying the collaborative's training offer, great resources for practitioners from all walks of professional life, great lay public / non-specialist resources.
