The training was based on a learning path which aims to offer useful tools for mentors and responsible of project according to their real needs.
Common learning objectives were a minimum standard that participants were encouraged to reach, but at the same time the flexible structure of the training let them to improve the areas they feel to be more weak in terms of knowledge.
This training was part of the accreditation process in Euromed so main outcome was to have 14 Evs mentors and 14 responsible of Evs projects ready for the next phase of accreditation process and prepared for their future Evs projects.
Moreover participants developed checklists for mentors and responsible of projects (see report) .
I was full time trainer together with the other colleagues contributing to preparation, facilitation of several sessions, evaluation . The programme was designed a a collective work of the pool of Evs trainers in Euromed which took place in April 2014 in Amman. This programme was then adapted to the reality of Palestine and to concrete participants needs.
