STRUCTURE OF THE MODULE

The material in this module is wide-ranging and designed so that those working with the module can select sections appropriate to their needs.

Topic 1 introduces the subject of mine education for children. It includes some basic facts and terms and discusses the difference between mine awareness, mine education and anti-mine campaigns; and it examines the legal basis behind any intervention to ensure children’s rights by protecting them from landmines.

Topic 2 examines how to conduct a situation and community needs analysis in a specific area.

Topic 3 addresses the need for situational analysis to determine the nature of the problem and whether mine education is the most appropriate response.

Topic 4 explores how children can take part in both situation analysis and mine education programming, since programme designers and planners cannot take for granted what children in a given area know about mines.

Topic 5 deals with the components of a programme using a case study from Yemen to illustrate lessons learned from a community-based mine-awareness programme.

Topic 6 addresses the role of UNHCR and NGOs in developing policy and programmes for mine awareness.

Participatory exercises, case studies, overheads and handouts are provided. Facilitators are strongly recommended to develop regionally or country-specific materials such as case studies, in order to make the training more relevant.
