Background & Purpose
Capacity building and cooperation are essential for advancing the energy transition in a sustainable and equitable manner. Civil society organizations, research institutions, and think tanks play pivotal roles by providing science-based evidence, proposing policy solutions, and generating inclusive policy dialogues. Effectively sharing knowledge, experiences, and skills across the spectrum of energy transition actors is crucial for accelerating change. It allows us to pool our expertise, find innovative solutions, and overcome obstacles more efficiently.
With knowledge sharing having become a key mission for most actors in this space, it is important for topical experts to develop a robust background in didactics and training design and to be equipped with a toolbox of methods and approaches to training formats that go beyond merely presenting information. By incorporating dynamic, participatory and engaging learning formats, recipients are ensured to gain actionable learnings. Interactive knowledge sharing formats are highly effective in motivating participants to leave with specific ideas, plans, and actions, fostering the development of more impactful and empowering learning experiences.
The Train the Trainer program aims to flip the perspective with which training design is approached. Instead of starting from what knowledge could be shared, participants will learn to shift their focus towards intended learning outcomes and the specific needs of their target group. Such a demand driven approach can improve the impact of any knowledge sharing activity and ensures that key messages and skills are absorbed. This is as important for sharing knowledge with allies, as with convincing policy makers.
Drawing on our extensive experience in implementing energy transition trainings and workshops, Agora will host a 3-day program focused on equipping trainers with the tools, methods, and best practice examples that allow them to develop, implement, and review their own knowledge sharing and learning formats. After completing the training, participants will be able to enhance any training or knowledge sharing within their networks by using learning-focused tools and methods to guarantee success.
