PILLARS Guides encourage small community groups to own their own development by facilitating a process of discussion-based learning and action. The Guides cover a range of topics (including food security, water and sanitation, HIV and AIDS) which are designed to help people reflect on and implement relevant changes in their communities.
The PILLARS DVD provides an introduction to the PILLARS approach to learning and development. It can be used alongside Tearfund’s Facilitation Skills Manual and PILLARS Workbook, as a tool to train people to use, translate or write PILLARS Guides.
The DVD contains seven sections which are between 3 and 13 minutes long. Each section ends with ideas for practical activities and discussion.
