The document describes various training methods that can be used to engage participants, including interactive lectures, demonstrations, role plays, group discussions, and debates. Interactive lectures are shorter than formal lectures and encourage participation through discussion. Effective delivery requires two-way communication, visuals, examples, and summarization. Group discussions are useful for sharing knowledge and experiences, and can be structured in different ways like small groups, huddles, or buzz groups. Role plays, demonstrations, and debates also actively involve participants to meet learning objectives. Selecting the appropriate method depends on factors like group size, content, and learning goals.
