No results found.Managing water in a field is very important for growing a healthy crop. Too little or too much water makes a big difference in the way a crop develops. When growing a crop outside of the rainy season, a farmer has to find ways to supply water to the crop. Therefore it is critical that the participants understand the water cycle, and the best ways of collecting, using and conserving water. Water is also essential in our own daily lives. We need it to drink, to prepare food and to wash. The partic ipants need to understand the importance of clean water for preventing disease and for their own personal hygiene. This module contains sample exercises for each of the learning activities, plus a number of sample energizers and cultural activities that can be used to keep the participants engaged and reinforce their learning. The provided activities should serve as samples to be modifies and applied as appropriate. The important thing is that all main building blocks of a typical JFFLS session are included in each learning session. -

No results found.When about to start a JFFLS programme the first few months will be very important in setting the stage for the whole learning process to follow. Participants need to get to know each other and feel comfortable in the group. They will also need to choose an appropriate learning site for holding their JFFLS sessions. Ideally a place with good shade and enough space to hold meetings with easy access to water that is close to the school and to the learning field. Access to a learning field is a lso necessary, as well as to make sure, when necessary, that a feeding programme is in place. During the first few group sessions, the group should also discuss what they expect to learn and what they will be doing in order to make their fields and their lives healthy and productive. In order to prepare boys and girls for the activities to come it is also important that the participants gain an understanding of the cropping calendar as well as the life cycle of plants and animals and how thi s relate to their own life. This module contains sample exercises for each of the learning activities, plus a number of sample energizers and cultural activities that can be used to keep the participants engaged and reinforce their learning. The activities should serve as examples to be modified and applied as appropriate. -

No results found.The programme was piloted in Mozambique in 2003-2004 and JFFLSchools have been implemented since then in: Cameroon, Ghana, Gaza & West Bank, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nepal, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe (foreseen next: Burundi, Congo and Rwanda). Programme evaluations have been undertaken in various countries: Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda and Gaza & West Bank. The JFFLS have been included as one of the main activities in the UNJPs for ‘’youth employment and migratio n’’ in Mozambique and Sudan, as well as in the UNJP for Peace in Nepal. The Junior Farmer Field and Life School approach has a unique learning methodology and curriculum, which combine both agricultural and life skills. The JFFLS approach is an adaptation of successful practices for developing knowledge and life skills among farmers in difficult circumstances such as Farmer Field Schools and Farmer Life Schools, combined with creative and expressive activities rooted in local culture. An innovative aspect of the JFFLS is the way youth are encouraged to develop as people; a school timetable includes cultural activities such as singing, dancing, and theatre. This allows the youth to develop confidence while keeping local cultural traditions alive.
