The APHT toolkit for health workers is a comprehensive set of training materials exploring different air pollution and health topics and reflecting global and regional challenges that can serve different types of audiences while taking into account the variety of roles within the health sector. It aims to provide health workers with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand and address the health effects of air pollution and mitigate risks by effectively engaging with patients, individuals and communities, while advocating for clean air interventions. APHT was built around the concept of train-the-trainer (TtT), which means trainees are enabled to become trainers and educate peers and communities.
This TtT manual is a guidebook designed to help trainers deliver trainings using the APHT toolkit for health workers. It provides practical suggestions and insights on how to leverage all the content and make the best use of the toolkit materials.
This manual is divided into three main sections. Section 1 explores the TtT approach and introduces the principles of peer education. It includes pedagogical guidance to complement the content of the toolkit, with tips on improving training delivery, such as effectively engaging your audience. Section 2 covers the practical and logistical aspects of organizing air pollution and health training or workshops, whether online or in person. Section 3 provides an overview of the key elements in the training toolkit, including how to use the modules and a comprehensive list of interactive sessions for workshop agendas. The annexes include useful tools and templates for organizing events.
