A group of scientists, farmers and staff from development organizations in Malawi and Tanzania put together an integrated curriculum on agroecologyclimate changenutritionand social equity. This training material was written in such a way that rural people with limited education can use it to teach other farming households ways to build more sustainable, resilient, healthy and equitable rural communities. A team of farmers, agricultural and social scientists, nutritionists, development organization staff, theatre & communication specialists met regularly in ‘virtual’ space, compiled literature held a week long participatory workshop to develop the curriculum outline. Team members contributed modules which were then integrated using a ‘soap opera’ format, along with participatory activities, visual tools, stories & drama.

Once a draft was completed, farmers were trained by other farmers using the curriculum in both sites, and then revised and re-translated based on farmer feedback. In Malawi, half of households had a “drama-enriched’ curriculum to test the impacts of drama in farmer-led teaching, an example of which can be found here: Malawi Curriculum Example.

The curriculum is meant to equip community development workers or ’mentors.’ It can be used by people with limited education, and includes people-centered learning; participatory methods encourage all who attend to teach and to learn from each other. Lessons incorporate stories, acting, and other participatory activities. 

Lessons alternate between topics in the curriculum. In each of the categories, topics are covered sequentially. Categories and topics include the following: 

  • Learning and Teaching Approaches
