WPP in the Field

Training of Trainers - the Continuation...

From 2002 until 2007 WPP organized international nonviolence Trainings of Trainers (ToT) for women on an annual basis. 2007 was the last year that an international ToT took place in the Netherlands. From that time onwards the new WPP regional desks in Africa (Ghana) and Asia (India) took over. They organized the first regional ToTs in November and December 2007. The African ToT took place in Nairobi, Kenia, the Asian ToT took place in Cochin, India.
