Regional Training Courses in Africa

During a series of regional training courses, the UNOY Peacebuilders’ Africa network and other regional youth organisations will be offered a comprehensive training program that is based on their needs and follows up on the training in 2008. This project will build on the skills the participants acquired during the training in 2008 in order to look at how with their strengthened and more professional organisations they can work jointly and collaborate more regionally on their programmes. Knowledge and expertise sharing will be facilitated and the training will be the starting point for stronger local and regional partnerships and more effective collaboration among youth organisations in Africa. The participants will learn how to draw on each others’ organisational knowledge, share experiences and good practices in order to find mutually beneficial ways of working together to address local and regional challenges.
