Discussion starter from East Timor

The pictures below are examples of drawings from various educational publications or they show discussion starters. A discussion starter, also called a code picture, is used by the facilitator in group work to initiate and stimulate a discussion about a particular theme. It is a picture that focuses on a local problem without giving the answers. The picture helps learners to be critically aware and helps them to analyse the root causes of a problem and discuss and find solutions.
The pictures shown in this sections have been drawn by me. However, as part of visual aids production workshops facilitated by me or other Health Image trainers, we show people how they can design and use these development pictures themselves.
