This course engages learners with practical and hands-on applications of the concepts and theories related to gender and sustainable development covered in previous courses. Relying heavily on an existing project, learners will spend much of their class time participating in the project activities. The learners will first be given a master trainer training as well as guidance for how to conduct impact assessments. With this knowledge, the learners will then take part in the assigned project and assist with the training and research study associated with the project. Initially, the assigned project will be the Amrita Gender Sensitization workshop where students and faculty across Amrita are taught about gender inequality and strategies for making their personal and professional lives more harmonious and gender equal. The students will have the opportunity to conduct research in any of the areas of sustainable development covered during the programme, and supplement it with research into technology based interventions that might aid social workers in their work.

Course Objectives:

1. Become certified master trainers for the given project
2. Apply master training to teach other students
3. Learn how to and then conduct an impact assessment
4. Produce a research report on their experiences and findings

Course outcome:

1. Students should earn an Amrita Certification as a master trainer in gender sensitization (or similar) course.
2. Students should gain the skills and experience necessary to conduct their own impact assessment and analyse any data needed to produce a research report.
3. Students should gain experience in conducting a gender sensitization training course, along with understanding best practices for training vulnerable groups.
4. Students should be confident they can conduct a training session with groups from multiple backgrounds/contexts including formal and informal industries, organised and unorganized sectors.
