Healthy ageing facilitator guide for teaching community volunteers
Purpose:
This guide is designed for staff or trainers of trainers to conduct a training of trainers (ToT) or preparation course for staff and volunteers who will work directly with community members. The facilitator guide is comprised of nine topics which we advise teaching in sequential order to allow volunteers to see the full range of materials available. The tools, talking points and activities included allow volunteers to teach communities in an interactive way. The assessment topic allows volunteers to assess community needs and develop a healthy ageing programme for each community based on its unique needs. The assessment determines which topics will be taught and the priority of each topic at any given time in the programme. All topics allow participants to learn and practise key knowledge and skills to coach community members through social and behaviour change techniques and to set a supportive environment for healthy ageing at the community level.
Overview:
The materials in this toolkit are designed so that the initial three topics are mandatory as guidelines for healthy ageing facilitators in teaching community volunteers: 1. Functional ability – life course 2. Assessment 3. Behaviour change.
The overall learning objectives include the following:
- Learners will be able to explain the components of healthy ageing
- Learners will be able to identify critical risk and protective factors to do with people’s health as they age
- Learners will be able to identify the critical role of active participation in society
- Learners will be able to demonstrate the impact of the life course trajectory in all stages of life
Usage: Guidance for project implementation, Training
Audience: Technical staff and volunteers

Healthy ageing toolkit for facilitators, volunteers and community
Purpose:
The healthy ageing module and toolkit include this guide, which is contained within the facilitator guide, gives an overview of the process and tools for facilitators teaching volunteers and for volunteers working with community members on healthy ageing. The getting started guide provides the intended learning objectives and outlines of session timing for ease of planning healthy ageing sessions.
Overview:
The toolkit is intended to be used with the healthy ageing guides. The toolkit features full-colour imagery, interactive formats and games material to teach all audiences according to the methodology suggested in the guides. All materials can be printed in colour or black/white and are of high resolution for those National Societies wishing to enlarge and print posters and banners for other uses in their healthy ageing activities. While the materials are specifically tailored to an ageing audience, all materials can be adapted or taught as they are to any adult audience. The activities included allow volunteers and their community members to learn about what healthy ageing is and how to pursue a healthy life course. Community members can also explore the critical components for healthy ageing and assess their personal development along the various components on a regular basis. They can become familiar with, and comfortable in, identifying areas where they may need extra attention and support, as well as empowering themselves to eat more healthily and move more freely, helping to prevent NCDs, falls and social isolation and, in the process, becoming lifelong learners. These outcomes can be achieved with the highly interactive and learner-friendly tools included in this toolkit.
