The Train the Trainers course is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively design and deliver courses for adult learners in the field of Heritage Management. Participants will acquire essential subject knowledge and familiarity with the principles of course design, including assessing the needs of students and tailoring instructional models and strategies accordingly. They will also gain practical skills for establishing relationships of trust in the context of adult training, recognizing the importance of building rapport with learners to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment.

Furthermore, participants will be exposed to various ways of assessing and giving feedback, understanding the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement in the training process. Through the course, participants will be encouraged to critically approach the creation and delivery of training courses and understand the effect of cultural particularities of each community or group in the delivery of this type of training. Practical exercises, discussions, and examples from real-world experiences will be used to illustrate the concepts and principles discussed, allowing participants to apply their learning in a meaningful way. The course will last two days, with two 3.5 hour-meetings in total, providing ample time for participants to engage in activities and actively engage in the learning process.
