D. Tips for making presentations 42. A few basic pointers are to be kept in mind: 37. (a) Make eye contact with participants; 37. (b) Encourage questions and discussion; 37. (c) Do not read from your notes – be conversational and natural, speaking in a forceful and animated voice. No matter how interesting the material, a monotone presentation, or one which cannot be heard, will dash any hopes of engaging the audience’s attention; 37. (d) Watch the time – time your presentation beforehand and keep a clock or watch in view while you are making it; 37. (e) Move around – do not present from your chair. When responding to a question, approach the person who asked it. If someone seems inattentive, approach and speak directly to him or her; 37. (f) Use visual aids. Transparencies and charts should be simple, in point form, and should not contain too much information. If you must provide detailed information to reinforce presentations, do so in a handout and review the basic points contained in the handout with the trainees. Provide participants with copies of visual aids for later study and review. Finally, speak to the participants, not to the board or chart; 37. (g) Do not criticize – correct, explain and encourage; 37. (h) Have participants use the written materials provided – for example, make them look up standards in the source materials and then read them out to the class (this teaches them how to find the human rights “rules” by themselves when the course is finished and they have returned to their duty stations). Materials which are not opened during the course are likely never to be opened. By the end of a course, each participant’s copy of Human Rights and Prisons: A Compilation of International Human Rights Instruments concerning the Administration of Justice should show clear signs of wear, with folded pages and marked text; 37. (i) Be honest; 17
