Remote training can provide the possibility of reaching people who live in different regions that can offer benefits and threats. You should look up laws governing mandatory reporting in your country to ensure disclosure and security prior to your session. YLabs is a remote-based organization that conducts training and codesign sessions for youth teams from India, Ethiopia, and Kenya highlighted that it is important to consider the ethical and security aspects of virtual sessions when preparing an event. "Will attendees have access the privacy of their space and devices to attend? Do you have a procedure to erase any identifiable information from their phones after remote sessions?
Raising Voices in Uganda also suggests conducting trainings on the gender-based violence (VAW) reporting procedures since it is widely known that cases of gender-based violence have increased during restrictions. This type of training could help facilitators determine and refer people who are feeling unsafe, or who are experiencing domestic violence. Use Participant-Driven Content Design Making sure that participants are at the forefront of the process of designing is vital in remote training programs and workshops that deal with sensitive subjects which will assist in ensure that participants are protected from risks. Evans in the Girl Effect Girl Effect notes that it is crucial that the target participants have the chance to give input their opinions to address any concerns or concerns. This will ultimately determine the direction and style of the program. Baringer and Evans from Girl Effect and Baringer of YLabs emphasize that programs, especially ones with sensitive content must be developed in conjunction with the target audience and other important stakeholders, and should be aligned with local conversations at the community and individual levels. They recommend that local trained experts lead sessions to be able to tackle more efficiently difficult topics. In the case of the Portal for Gender Equality in Schools (PEGE) in Brazil, an online platform to facilitate distance education for teachers in public schools Promundo found that engaging local teachers in the design of educational programs was crucial for the long-term sustainability of interventions in schools. When programs are created and executed by outside experts They usually end at the point that those "outsiders" leave and may miss issues that would be evident to those who use the content on a regular day basis. It is the same at the conclusion of remote programs developed and executed by outside entities.
A key element to keep participants at the heart of the design process when it comes to sensitive subjects is providing the participants with ways to evaluate at both the time of and after the event. Throughout the engagement, getting written or verbal feedback from participants is crucial to assess mood, reactions and the desired pace of the group. Feedback from post-engagement is essential to know what content and activities resonated most (and the least) with the participants. It could be beneficial to incorporate a pre-evaluation as well as a post-evaluation questionnaire to gauge the impact and change in perception of participants in response to the program. Feedback from participants is essential in the process of creating powerful remote interactions regarding sensitive topics. even as we have an exciting chance to invent on the delivery of our programs, the forms and the effectiveness of technology shifting power dynamics are an important subject for further research. What Is Success? The success of remote programming could differ from the results for face-to-face engagements. it is important to conduct more assessments especially when it comes to changes in gender norms as well as reductions in violence and other important indicators to comprehend the benefits and drawbacks of these strategies. Technology has made it possible to stay connected even under lockdown, communicate in novel and innovative ways and reach audiences which we've never had before but also reduce the cost of travel and implementation. However, with the widespread acceptance of remote delivery during the current pandemic, we could and must take advantage of these opportunities to tap into the full potential of remote learning in areas of power and violence taking advantage of their distinctive advantages instead of replicating the limitations of traditional in-person Through the use of intentional design and by bringing participants together all the way through, remote learning workshops and programs can be an effective tool for developing understanding about the most difficult problems of our time and forging the way to lasting positive change and impact.
