Second module of Training for Multipliers in Vienna

From 19th to 21st of May 2010 the second module of the Training of Multipliers took place in Vienna. Taking into account the needs and demands of the participants after the first module, the training was divided into different sections to provide space for expert input, debate, improvement of training skills and own contributions through presentations in small teams.

The intense three days of training started with a market place where the participants introduced their projects where they shared good and bad practices they encountered with these projects. Every day an expert from the development organisations Light for the World and Horizont3000 gave an input on programming, identification and formulation and budgeting respectively. In the training skills sessions the future trainers focused on adult learning methodologies and looked deeper into the qualifications of trainers and their tools. Debated were the Millennium Development Goals, and the role and funding mechanisms for civil society organisations and especially NGOs. The presentations of the participants gave room for small teams of three to five people to step into the shoes of trainers and apply methods in order to discuss several topics ranging from Development cooperation, to project cycle management and Development education.

Generally, this interactive and versatile training had a lot more sharing of best practices and experiences from all participants who will come together again for the last module from 22-24th September 2010 in Vienna. We are happy to invite Angela James (consultant, BOND) as an expert guest speaker for this final module , which will focus on EC Contract Management .
