Each paper should begin with a brief introduction to the country and the context within which the Street Law, community outreach or legal literacy program was or will be introduced, during which presenters
identify the problems the program was aiming to solve;
the objectives of the program;
the target audience of the program;
the methodology used;
the challenges faced or to be faced in implementing the program; and
the results of the program in terms of its impact or how it will be evaluated if it is not yet operative (not more than 5 pages).
The introduction should be followed by the best practices lesson set out under the headings mentioned below (not more than 5 pages).
Each best practices lesson should be accompanied by a lesson plan consisting of (a) the topic taught; (b) the outcomes to be achieved in terms of knowledge, skills and values (eg. at the end of this lesson participants will be able to …); (c) the content required to teach the lesson; (d) the interactive learning activities used and their time frames; (e) the resources required to teach the lesson (eg. hand-outs, flip charts, PowerPoint etc.); and (f) the evaluation questions to check if the outcomes were achieved.
It is envisaged that a selection of the best practices lessons from different parts of the World will be published in a book and also be available electronically.
