Promoting Social Cohesion and Peaceful Coexistence in Fragile Contexts through TVET
English
ILO
The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org

Facilitator handbook to accompany the Guide for TVET practitioners
This facilitator handbook has been developed to accompany the Promoting Social Cohesion and Peaceful Coexistence in Fragile Contexts through TVET guide and programme to help trainers and facilitators integrate participatory/experiential learning approaches during the planning and delivery of the training of trainers programme.
This handbook is aimed at experienced professionals, specifically to assist them when they deliver the Promoting Social Cohesion and Peaceful Coexistence in Fragile Contexts through TVET programme. The handbook is divided into two parts. Part one focuses on key skills and frameworks for trainers and facilitators, covering concepts, such as: understanding the differences between training and facilitation, how to maximise participation and experiential learning, working with different learning styles, creating an enabling learning environment and a basic introduction to competency frameworks. Part two is the outline of a 4-day workshop, including all materials and handouts, set out on a day-by-day basis, that aims to increase participants’ skills, knowledge and confidence in facilitating core skills in social cohesion so that they can include social cohesion elements into their curricula in skills development.
