Curriculum design workshop
The workshop was held to bring together training experts from academic institutions, NGOs, and PAs. Results of the training needs assessment were presented, and a list of the most important themes and topics were proposed as a framework for developing curricula used for training different target groups, including PA managers, scientific staff, and field-based workers. After the list was discussed and refined, information on potential trainers and related resources for designing training modules was compiled from participants.
Effective convening of multi-sectoral body of expert participants - Workshop with clear objectives, effective facilitation, and envisioned products, designed for the purpose of collaborative work and to capture relevant resources
Designing training curricula tailored to the objectives of each training course was an important step in achieving the goals of the project. While the results of training needs assessment provide key data, the curriculum design workshop helped put together expertise in the field to develop valuable curricula for future training programs. The experts also played essential roles in identifying capable trainers and relevant resources. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to launch a successful training program for such complex issues, ranging from social to natural sciences.
