The IFRC Asia Pacific regional office hosted a Pacific Trainer of Trainers training from 7 November to 11 November 2022 in Nadi, Fiji gathering 12 trainers from seven National Societies.
The training was facilitated by Master Educators Mr. Krishna Ghimrie from Nepal Red Cross Society and Mr. Ambrose Lee from Singapore Red Cross.
The training was successful, with an effective preparation that ensured a productive learning environment. Indeed, for the smooth running of the course, the trainees were selected prior to the training based on their ability to build the capacity of new and existing trainers in their respective National Societies. After selecting well-experienced candidates, the facilitation team hosted a remote introductory session to clarify the expectations and objectives, and answer possible questions from the participants. During the process, the participants were involved and enriched the training by sharing experiences and practices of their National society.
The candidates were prepared with their written lesson plans as a model for the future dedicated assignments, that includes specific activities from their National Society for a better context adaptation. Indeed, the National Societies are from the same region and may have a lot of similarity of context, but still require different methodologies and procedures in First Aid education and regulations.
The training was a success and the Centre is extremely happy for the outstanding effort and dedication that was proven by everyone in this training.
