TEAMUP FACILITATOR

In North Lebanon, this intervention is being implemented by Tasmim wa Irada – Community Innovation Network (TWI-CIN) in partnership with War Child and relevant local stakeholders, as part of a broader effort to strengthen community-based child protection and psychosocial support services.
As a TeamUp Facilitator you are part of an enthusiastic team of TeamUp Facilitators. You and another facilitator will together facilitate movement-based activities for children facing adversity aged between 10 and 15 at a fixed time twice a week. Each activity has a specific theme and purpose. These activities make up a programme that helps teach children learn how to deal with difficult emotions such as anger, fear and stress.  A TeamUp Facilitator contributes to the social and emotional development of the participating children - and thereby helps reduce the risk of them experiencing social and emotional problems in the long term. Facilitators receive on-the-job mentoring where they can discuss the TeamUp methodology and/or challenges they face during the facilitation of the activities. As a Facilitator, you have child safeguarding and child protection responsibilities. You should recognise signs of unusual behaviour of children and, if necessary, refer children to specialised care and support services. Facilitators receive comprehensive training on how to carry out these functions before they start working with children.
