STEPPING STONES is an award-winning training package on HIV/AIDS, gender issues, communication and relationship skills. The Stepping Stones process aims to help people to explore people´s own behaviour and problems and find their own solutions. This means, that although the underlying principles and the process are relevant in all cultures, the topics covered and activities may need to change. Thus, this guide is for anyone who is using Stepping Stones and is thinking about making some changes, and for people who have not yet used Stepping Stones and wish to adapt it to their local situation. The guide is divided into four sections: Introduction, Different types of adaptation with examples, How will you go about adapting Stepping Stones?, and Practical issues to consider.
