The genuine concern for our and our staff’s welfare in the delivery of the material
The topics are excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the training. A nice mix of experiential and lecture style learning
The strain taken by the facilitators to satisfy the participants in their learning process
The good humour and knowledge of the trainers
Sharing the trainers’ experiences, it was wonderful to hear from people who have faced real or actual situations. The session on stress was very helpful and I guess it’s very appropriate as well.
Sharing information and thoughts with other humanitarian workers
That we were so much involved, we were not served the answers but had to come up with them ourselves
The obvious enormous credibility and experience of the facilitators and their good sense of humour. Good sequential structure.
