SayPro Participation Requirement – Bring a Notebook or Digital Device for Note-taking
To maximize the learning experience and engagement at the SayPro Health Care Wellness (GBV Awareness & Health Services) event, all participants are encouraged to bring a personal notebook or digital device (such as a tablet, laptop, or smartphone) for taking notes during the sessions.
Why Note-taking is Important
Capture Key Information: Document essential points from panel discussions, health workshops, and presentations on GBV awareness and disease prevention.
Reflect and Retain: Reinforce understanding of concepts like STI education, community health strategies, and support networks.
Personal Insights: Record personal reflections, questions, and ideas for action beyond the event.
Resource for Future Use: Create a valuable reference for applying event knowledge in personal or professional contexts.
What to Bring
Participants may choose between:
Traditional Notebook and Pen: Simple, reliable, and easy to use. Ideal for those who prefer a tactile experience and fewer digital distractions.
Digital Device (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone):
- Offers quick note-taking with search functions, formatting, and easy sharing of information.
- Useful for accessing session materials provided by SayPro, such as digital downloads or online resources.
- Must be fully charged before the event and used respectfully in a way that does not disrupt others.
Event Materials and Supports
