Descripción
In JFFLS field activities will gradually become more complex with a bigger variety of crops and activities undertaken. After learning about basic agricultural practices, combinations of various practices will be introduced. For example you may end up with a number of different crops growing in the same field, all at different stages, some that you are just planning while others you are harvesting. This is an example of diversity, which is important for various reasons. For example combining diff erent types of plants help in giving different nutrients to the soil so that it can continue being fertile and healthy. But how do we best combine different crops without creating conflict? For this good planning is needed. Moreover people need a diversified diet, based on nutritious and balanced meals; they also need to have different ingredients in order to be healthy. In this module participants will also learn about gender roles and the different roles of girls and boys in society and how th ese compliment each other. It is the diversity of people with different characteristics and skills that create an interesting society. Failing to understand personal differences and diversity can be a cause conflicts, gender stereotypes and violence within the home and community. On the other hand by understanding and appreciating diversity, we can contribute to a better life. In this module the concept of diversity will be explored from different angles. The 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.
