Many people are worried about FORB violations in their community but unsure of how to make a difference. The Christian Study Centre in Rawalpindi, Pakistan and the FORB Learning Platform are delighted to present the Urdu version of a new set of learning materials designed to empower local communities to make change – The Local Changemakers Course! Launched in English, French and Arabic earlier this year, it's now time to introduce the Urdu translation (further languages to come in 2023).
Organisations working with Urdu-speaking communities are warmly invited to join us for the launch, at a digital event on November 30th. Read more about the launch below.
The Local Changemakers Course focuses on developing knowledge, transforming attitudes and building skills for action, using a methodology that combines interfaith understanding and a rights-based approach. Easy to adapt to different contexts, the course has been tested by interfaith groups in Jordan, India, Nigeria and Tanzania.
The course materials contain everything community educators/facilitators need to run a series of nine sessions. There is detailed guidance on how to run each session and an extensive set of materials to use, including PowerPoint presentations, posters, game cards, and presentation scripts to adapt and edit.
All course materials will be published in Urdu on forb-learning.org. The materials are free for any person or organization to download and use.
