Direct Link to Full 40-Page 2017 Inclusive Security Curriculum Guide:
Advocacy for Inclusive Security is a skills curriculum that introduces a step-by-step, strategic framework for designing, executing, and learning from advocacy efforts. It draws on hundreds of trainings over more than fifteen years and is informed by work with partners to conduct strategic advocacy in some of the most difficult and intractable circumstances around the world. We set out to fill a gap in practical, detailed guidance on how to build skills and knowledge using interactive methodologies and knowledge of adult learning. While there are many resources on policy advocacy, only a few of them are geared towards advocates working in conflict-affected contexts to make peace and security decision making more inclusive and representative. We wrote this resource to benefit our partners and staff and to document our approach.
These nine, highly-interactive modules are practical, field-tested, and grounded in adult learning methodologies. They employ case studies, simulations, practice exercises, videos, role plays, and presentations to make the material accessible to a range of learning styles and knowledge levels. Materials can be tailored to a number of training modalities, including multi-day, stand-alone trainings, a training program with multiple trainings for the same participants, and trainings of trainers. This Curriculum User Guide is a roadmap for how to use these modules. It gives an overview of Inclusive Security’s approach to training, including best practices and guidance on effective workshop design. It also includes a detailed overview of the curriculum modules and sample agendas. Finally, there is a glossary of terms used throughout the curriculum and sample energizers.
This curriculum is written for individuals who have experience designing and delivering trainings. Though this guidance is comprehensive, it is beyond the scope of this User Guide to cover all the fundamentals of facilitation or training design.
