TRAINING ACTIVITIES

The 12 topics listed below are all interconnected and can be delivered in the format that best fits your goals, time and audience. Choose from a keynote talk (30-60 minutes) to spark awareness, a one-off workshop (90-180 minutes) for hands-on practice, a short course (3-6 sessions) to build skills step by step, or a multi-week programme for sustained learning and impact. All formats are available in-person, online or hybrid, and can be tailored for educators, students, journalists, librarians, NGOs, public institutions or private organisations.

Each engagement includes clear learning outcomes, practical resources/templates, and interactive methods, such as case studies, simulations, and peer discussion. Content is adapted to your context – region, sector, language level – and can be offered at introductory, intermediate or advanced levels. Optional additions include pre-session briefings, follow-up meetings, and evaluation to measure results.
