A
Stepping Stone towards awareness !
Stepping Stone is a highly effective tool towards behavioral change enabling communities
to address their own issues and seek solutions. Over the years it has been widely
used by grassroots organizations all over the world working with potential victims
of vulnerability.
CYDA, in association with Swiss Aid,held the Stepping stones program with the communities
in state of Chattisgarh between Jan 15 -22, 2010. The special feature of this programme
was that the participants were not only youth but also adults in the age of 35 to
55 years.
In the words of Satish – facilitator of the programme & Health4Change Coordinator
at CYDA, the programme was successful in terms of witnessing the personality change
in the participants, particularly among the male participants, in creating awareness
of gender concerns.
