Presentation
throughout the module. The goal of creating a roadmap is to help the trainees understand their role in reporting and to give them an overview of the entire process. For the exercise to give tangible results, it is necessary to make sure that trainees consider a concrete local reality and specific stakeholders and processes etc. For this reason, the exercises should be done separately for every territory. If there is only one participant from a particular territory, they should work individually. If there are more people from the same city or region, they can work in groups of 2 or 3. Your roadmap to reporting is divided into 5 steps, as follows: 1. Your role in the reporting process 2. Involving Stakeholders 3. What data should be collected? 4. Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs) 5. Sharing the results According to the duration of the training session and the needs of each group, it is possible to choose to work only on specific steps rather than go through the entire set of exercises included in Your roadmap to reporting. As an annex to the module, there is a gamified exercise about building a narrative around SDG reporting. This offers a more playful learning experience which can be used either as an icebreaker, at the beginning of the training session, or at the end, when talking about VLRs. In the module, it will also be possible to find ideas for some additional exercises, such as writing letters or drafting a report. Please note that to run a training session, it will be necessary to have such materials as a flipchart, sheets of paper and post-it notes.
