Community Screening

The community screening took place on Wednesday 19th October in a large venue near to OBUL within the Nakivale Refugee Settlement. The evaluation team had prepared meticulously, taking account of how to deal with generating discussions with many different language groups. On the day of the screening it was raining hard, which makes it challenging to travel anywhere. In addition, the tin roof of the venue accentuated the noise of the rain, however a powerful sound system for the screenings and use of a PA for announcements and speeches overcame this

Despite the weather, over 150 people attended the screening and the videos were well received. The trainees then organised this enormous audience into discussion groups based on language and divided themselves to lead the groups accordingly. The groups were asked to comment on the videos and discuss which of the significant changes presented resonated most with them, and why

During the discussion, refreshments were also provided and enthusiastically received. The venue was buzzing with lively debate and the trainees captured the outcomes of the discussions on flip chart paper After around 25 minutes of discussion, each group had elected a spokesperson to feedback to the wider group, with the trainees providing translation.

The feedback from the groups was typed up by the trainees who facilitated the discussions and shared with the wider team to be incorporated into the data for the midline evaluation.

Thank you to the programme manager and programme coordinator and all staff members and facilitators for the great work done and an active participation We count on your continuous support and safe journeys to you all.
