The following reports are activities carried out by the Sharing Education and Learning for Life (SELL) Programme Ghana’s Resource Team and trainee volunteers in February 2022.

​Mentoring Training

The Sharing Education and Learning for Life Programme Ghana has conducted a 2nd Mentoring Training for some volunteer facilitators in the Wa zone.
The purpose of the training is to build their capacity to understand mentoring as they take up the additional role as support persons for the SELL Programme Ghana.
It took place, Feb. 4-6, at the Spiritual Renewal Centre in Wanye – a suburb of Wa, Upper West Region. It was a follow-up training held last year which gave them an opening perspective on mentoring.
The participatory processes helped the support persons explore further the meaning of mentoring, their experiences of being mentored and awareness-raising on human trafficking.
As the work of SELL grows, their supporting roles will be needed to help the Resource Team reach other communities in the zone.

Workshops

​Step-down workshops were organized in Busunu and Tuna in the Savannah Region, February 11th-13th.
The respective workshops focused on the Peace Building unit of the SELL Programme. Volunteer facilitators took participants through sessions which invited them to choose to be peacemakers in all of life’s situations.
In Tuna, the youth were drawn from Kalba, Kulmasa, Konfali, Pinvuro, Yipala, Soma and Tuna communities.

Enriching Experience

​Participants shared that, the workshops offered them helpful ways of knowing how to manage their anger and conflict for their own growth and well-being. Others also said, the forgiveness stories of the widely praised Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai touched them and will inspire their personal decisions to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge when offended.
In Busunu, thirty-nine (39) young people participated, including fifteen (15) Muslims and thirty-one (31) in Tuna with four (4) Muslims.

 Zonal Meeting

​Commissioned volunteers of Tamale and Navrongo-Bolgatanga zones met together in Tamale.
The joint Zonal Meeting took place at the Youth Centre, Feb. 18-20, and brought together representatives of all cluster teams in the two zones.
The purpose of the meeting was to review their activities in the past year and to plan anew for 2022. The meeting also discussed challenges they face in their respective teams where some solutions were suggested to enable them work effectively.
It was an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues as a family and draw inspiration from one another.
The commissioned are SELL’s volunteers who have completed all six units of the Programme. As extended members of the SELL Resource Team, the support of commissioned volunteers is crucial in helping the Team reach out to many communities in operational zones.
They have put together a series of activities to be undertaken in the months ahead for the benefit of other young people.

Changing Attitudes

Having learnt about the effects of industrial revolution, participants shared that, human actions and inactions are responsible for causing harm to the environment and there is the need to change attitudes and intensify education towards care for the earth. Other suggested ways in this effort is to plant and grow trees and cut the use of chemicals in farming.

Capacity Building

​As facilitators of the SELL Programme, which puts them in position of leadership, their awareness was raised on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults in line with the Safeguarding Policy of the Programme. They were also made aware of the responsibilities and duties it places on them.

Next Steps

​The six teams in the zone are expected to organize workshops in their respective communities and impart other young people.
