It is my third month in Uganda and my agenda is now full of training, quite exciting! I started with a ToT (training of trainer) in YARID, in Kampala. Then, I travelled to Gulu to train UPA Gulu Branch and finished by another ToT in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement.
1. YARID
Based on the previous need-assessment, the topics covered during these two days were:
- How to communicate efficiently and keep audience's attention
- How to summarize a concept and deliver it in different ways
- How to make lessons fun and keep the students energized
- How to get the reserved students to participate too
The training was highly interactive with a mix of theory and practical exercises. This methodology allowed participants to learn about new concepts and tools and then to use them directly in a given situation.
The feedback from the participants was really positive and they told us that they gained more knowledge and skills which will enable them to improve their teaching practices.
2. GULU

Then, we took the bus direction Gulu! What an adventure... The journey requires patience but we are happy to arrive and discover a quiet city (compared to Kampala đ).
We have come all this way to conduct the first part of the Digital Competencies Training to the Members of UPA Gulu branch. Based on our needs assessment, we had decided to make two groups.
- Group A for the beginners
- Group B for those that already have basic ICT skills and want to become trainers themselves.
The training went on well and we have decided to come back soon for the second part!
3. RWAMWANJA
From North to West, we went to Rwamwanja Vocational Training Center to train and support the ICT trainers.
For some of them, it was their first training on Mondo Digital Competencies modules and for other it was a refresher course.
They are now all ready to start or continue training young refugees and local communities on ICT.
