Project Management for better results
Most important in a project is a successful completion of the project. To understand project management you need to be aware of theoretical and practical approaches. A project can be implemented within your own organisation or at requesting organisations. In project management different key areas will be highlighted.
Interculturalisation
Are you new in South Sudan? Welcome! You work for an International NGO, a National NGO or a company? In that case you should not miss this training course.
We will learn you everything about the culture of South Sudan; why South Sudanese behave as they do, how you can deal with hiearchy in cooperation, how to cope with insecurity, bribe and corruption. Last but not least, how can you have a good time in South Sudan.
Leadership & Coaching
When you are a director or manager, expectations are often high. In addition to achieve program or company results, it is expected from you to lead a (inter)national team of experts: optimize cooperation, maintain team spirit and getting the best out of your team of experts by coaching.
During this training we train you how to discover your personal leadership style and face strenghts and weaknesses. We train you also to improve your personal leadership style and we will equip you with tools that can make your role as leader easier.
PPW - Project Proposal Writing
In a country like South Sudan, where much development takes place, many financial resources are generated by project proposals. Only a well-written project proposal will be granted. What is the secret behind a winning project proposal? How to deal with a mandatory template? How to describe SMART objectives?
All these questions and more will be covered in this course.
Quality Assurance in education
Quality Assurance can be seen as an exercise on paper and will never leave the drawer of policy makers. Nothing could be further from the true. Quality Assurane has absolutely to do with the education itself. In fact, it will be visible in the classroom.
Ouality Assurance is a very broad topic which include policies and systems. Teachers play key roles in quality education. We train you in how you (as a teacher) can make quality assurance visible in the classroom: how to deal with it and how to implement it.
How to make a workshop WORK
Have you ever been in a workshop where the facilitator was working very hard and participants were not active at all?
It is possible to get all participants active and make a workshop WORK.
This course will train you how to make use of your personal skills and improve your training skills, how to deal with different types of participants and how to prepare an interactive workshop.
Refresh your Teaching Skills

During this course we train you how develop your own confident teaching style by using different interactive teaching methodologies.
