Clavaud, Donna; And Others
Based on experience in the field, this training program was developed to help Peace Corps trainers teach appropriate community technology to Peace Corps volunteers and community workers. The 8-week, 104-session training program is organized in six phases that cover the following topics: introduction to training; earthen construction and fuel-saving cookstoves; pedal/treadle power; solar water heaters; solar agricultural dryers; and concluding the program--the energy fair. Each of the technical and nontechnical areas is related to the other components of the program. Health and nutrition and the role of the volunteer in development are stressed throughout the program. Nonformal education and cross-cultural education are the integrating principles of the program. Each session outline contains total time, objectives, resources, trainer notes, procedures, and handouts as needed. Appendixes list skills for development facilitators, outline two-week workshops, and provide 14 pages of bibliographies. (KC)
