Educational Theater in Kobama Division

When we visited the Kobama Participatory Educational Theater (K-PET) group on the 13th March 2011, we were both excited of their major approach model towards mobilization and education to the public of whom most of them have grown tired of the long speeches experienced in trainings, workshops and other gatherings.
The group is registered as a CBO and has a variant of activities that one can always learn from at any time of visit; table banking, behaviour change communication, poultry, horticulture, tree nursery, tents and plastic chairs for hire, public address system hire and giant puppet for mobilization.
What attracted us most was the idea of how the giant puppet and the their educative skits attracted large masses and kept them concentrating all through.
