Description of the tool
This activity should be implemented during the last day of the training course/seminar/ youth initiative.
The youth trainer should prepare an empty scheme on the flipchart with the three parts of the book: FRONT COVER, BACK COVER, INDEX. After a short explenation of the aims and meanig of the Guide Book, you should stimulate the participants to find the content of each part of the book through a brain-storming, for example as regards the FRONT COVER, it could contain the project logo, the title of the book, an immage, the BACK COVER could contain the names of the organizations involved, a group photo, the YiA logo, the INDEX should contain all the relevant themes discussed during the project, reports from the participants... Anyway the participants always have creative and new ideas, let them free to find out, discuss and agree the content and the graphics of each part of the book!
After this you should invite the participants to create some working groups, eachone with the aim to perform a specific task, in relation to their interests and abilities: a group for the creation of the cover and a group for each item contained in the index.
The participants will have one hour and half to prepare the content of the book, than the results of the group work will be collected and ... after the typesetting (that should be made at a later time by the trainer or an expert), the book will be ready for the publication!
