The facilitators play an important role and directly affect the success of any educational program. Facilitators should be those who:

• Are well informed about human sexuality, gender and rights, sexual and reproductive health and life skills;

• Are comfortable discussing sexuality issues and human relationships;

• Are non-judgmental;

• Really enjoy working with young people;

• Respect the views of young people, even if these views are very different from their own;

• Believe that young people can make good decisions for themselves;

• Have good group facilitation and communication skills; 

• Have a sense of humour! It is assumed that facilitators may want to add or change questions in exercises and spontaneously explore issues as they arise, depending on the needs of their groups
