Choice of Venue:

The nature and type of venue for the YAN activities can affect the functioning of the sessions. Following factors should be kept in mind while choosing a venue for the sessions:

• Find a venue with open space for a session with a role play activity
• Consider the location of the group in a room with distractions. For example, if a room has a window with much movement outside, it would be wise to sit and talk away from it; do not sit in the way of people passing through the room; avoid a room with a telephone that may ring and disturb a session; there should be no columns blacking each others views
• Check the room for working electrical power points for connecting computers, slide projectors, film projectors, television etc. if required for a session
• Is it allowed to put up chart paper, drawings or presentations on the wall for a session in the room; and if so, is there enough space on the wall to do that?
