About this learning event

The Training-of-Trainers workshop will give experts from line ministries (and other relevant budget users) a frame of reference for understanding how learning works and will aim to inspire them to design and deliver training and learning activities.

To establish well-functioning macro-fiscal frameworks, ministries of finance need appropriate inputs from line ministries. Strengthening line ministries’ training capacities in public financial management would help beneficiary countries develop their own experts’ skills to become trainers.

This workshop supports one of the aims of the SPB project to identify future change agents at both finance and line ministries who will be involved in sharing technical knowledge on strategic planning and budgeting with their colleagues at finance ministries, line ministries, and at international forums such as CEF’s learning events.

We take an experiential approach to the workshop where participants engage in context-driven, real-life activities and collectively reflect on their performance and come away with “lessons learned”.

What you will learn

This learning event will introduce participants to different theories of learning to help them identify and understand their disposition toward learning. Aspects, such as what makes the learning event meaningful and what does not, will be discussed. The course will also provide practical guidance on how to give a powerful and dynamic lecture. Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their skills for developing the confidence and capability to give an engaging lecture.

How you will benefit

Workshop sessions are highly interactive. Participants are encouraged to share their experience, recognize and encompass different perspectives, and work in teams. There is an online working space for developing a common understanding of the key concepts prior to their arrival to the face-to-face sessions.

 The aims of the workshop are to:

  • Share a language about learning and training
  • Explore different ways to give a powerful and dynamic lecture
  • Develop the confidence to take a lead in a training or learning activity

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for public administration officials from line ministries and other relevant budget user institutions, who are involved in the design, implementation, and coordination of medium-term macroeconomic and fiscal policies and require skills for delivering lectures

Participants' Experience from Previous Workshops

“My colleagues and I are regularly involved in different meetings and have to make presentations to our superiors, e.g. to present the results of those meetings. I’ve learned at the training of trainers event how to give powerful presentations, how to keep attention of the audience, and how to perform as a good speaker. I have particularly experienced the importance of receiving feedback on presentations. We have all learned a lot from experiencing this training; seeking and using opportunities to apply what we have learned will help us to continue this learning journey.” Jagoda Đerek, BiH

“I enjoyed presenting to other international participants in the classroom, jointly reflecting on my performance, and learning from their feedback. I very much liked how the main facilitator, Ms. Beverly Trayner, guided us in improving our presentation performance. The simulation of giving powerful presentations, especially in the context of the medium-term budgeting framework, was a particularly memorable experience, as it is part of my daily job at the Undersecretariat to give such presentations.” Erdoğan Yılmaz, Turkey
