UNESCO Bangkok conducted the Regional Workshop on Community-Based Parenting Education: Documentation of Good Practices and Lessons Learnt.  The workshop was held in UNESCO Bangkok last 2-3 May 2013. A total of 21 participants, including governmental and non-governmental counterparts as well as UNESCO staff, attended the workshop. They represented the seven country teams, which have been involved in adapting the Parenting Education Guidebook and Facilitators’ Handbook, training of Community Learning Centre (CLC) facilitators and conducting community-based workshops of parenting education.

The participating countries gathered during the regional workshop, which enabled them to share among themselves good practices and lessons learnt, including challenges and emerging strategies, from the country-level processes of translation, adaptation and usage of the parenting education materials, advocacy work, training of facilitators and the organisation of community-based pilot workshops.  Various techniques and activities were injected into the workshop such as group work, reflection, games, storytelling, group presentations and plenary discussions.

As part of the significant outcomes of the workshop, the seven participating countries (Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Samoa, Pakistan and Viet Nam) developed country strategies to scale up and sustain the parenting education programme through collaborative envisioning and reflection. At the end of the workshop, each participant made his or her personal commitment to a concrete action to take as a follow-up to this workshop.
