Self-advocacy refers to an individual’s ability to effectively communicate his or her own interests, desires, needs and rights. It recognises that people are experts by experience and involves them in speaking out for themselves about the things that are important to them. It means that people are able to ask for what they want and need and to tell others about their thoughts and feelings.
The goal of self-advocacy is for people to decide what they want and to carry out plans to help them get it. Self-advocacy differs from other forms of advocacy in that the individual self-assesses a situation or problem and then speaks for his or her own needs. The ultimate aim of all forms of advocacy should be to support people to self-advocate as far as they are able to.

Running Dictation develops learners' ability to process theoretical information about a subject. It uses small pieces of paper containing 2-3-short sentences about the subject that the trainer places around the classroom (eg on walls, floor etc),in a way that learners have to discover them by searching.
The learner group is split in teams of 2 people. One searches for the information on the pieces of paper, reads it, goes back to the other and reports it. Then they change roles.
