InterWorks facilitated a Training of Trainers workshop designed to present a highly participatory training approach and methodology to a group of Chinese national disaster management experts. The participants included Chinese civil servants from several different ministries and departments involved in disaster response along with several from similar counterpart agencies in Mongolia. The workshop focused on adult learning theory and practical tips for designing and delivering effective workshop training sessions. The core skills practice sessions relied heavily on individual and small team practice training sessions which were videotaped and then played back for the participants along with commentary and advice for improvement from the facilitators as well as the other participants.
