Implementing Vhutshilo
When working with a partner to implement Vhutshilo, HETTAS follows a certain recipe that has proved to be particularly effective in the field. What this means in practical terms is that:
1 HETTAS meets with the lead organisation to get an understanding of its particular needs and existing expertise.
2 Together with the NGO, a number of youth facilitators (and their supervisors) are selected to undergo the initial training. Training is intensive and lasts for 5 days.
3 Once trained, the facilitators and supervisors recruit youth beneficiaries for the implementation of the programme. HETTAS plays a support role during this process to ensure that factual information remains intact and that facilitation skills are bolstered.
4 Facilitators then begin working with the youth—normally in groups of about 20—to conduct the sessions.
