Trainer development programme

Are you an expert in one or more sustainability topics - biodiversity, zero waste, climate change, circular economy, ESG, urban planning, ecodesign, etc etc?

Do you sometimes need to explain your complex sustainability topics to stakeholders, give presentations or hold workshops?

Are any of these situations familiar to you?

• After a long explanation people still don’t seem to grasp what is the essence of the problem.

• People, who you want to get involved, are simply not at all interested in your topic.

• At a meeting/workshop people seemed to understand the topic well, but afterwards it turned out they hadn’t learned anything or had totally misunderstood your message.

If you answered “yes” at least 2 times, then this course is for you!

Who should attend?

• You work as an expert (including a volunteer) in some environmental or sustainability field;

• You have some experience in teaching and conducting workshops;

• You want to develop your training skills so that your trainings and presentations are effective and make the participants think along and understand the topics better.
