About this learning event

This event aims to strengthen the capacity of selected public officials who already work within relevant working groups, to act as effective facilitators and multipliers of policy and climate knowledge within their institutions. The programme focuses on the core goal of the ToT, equipping participants with the practical skills to design, moderate, and actively contribute to policy working groups, ensuring these function as effective platforms for coordination, problem-solving, and preparation of policy decisions. Particular emphasis is placed on:

• How to moderate and participate actively in working groups (structuring discussions, managing dynamics, ensuring results).
• How to communicate and sustain engagement between meetings, maintaining momentum, clarity of roles, and follow-up.

Participants will work with facilitation and collaboration techniques tailored to complex, multi-stakeholder policy environments, with a strong orientation toward producing actionable outputs such as reform proposals, action plans, or coordinated inputs across institutions. The training combines adult learning, peer exchange, and applied practice with a microlearning component that ensures continuous, hands-on engagement. By strengthening both facilitation and ongoing collaboration practices, the programme supports more effective, coherent, and sustained policy processes, particularly in complex reform areas such as the green transition.

This activity is linked to the Financing the Green Transition Conference and complements its discussions by offering participants direct insight into how facilitation and collaboration within working groups and generally institutions impacts the successful Green Transition.

Who should attend

This conference is intended primarily for public officials and decision-makers from the six Western Balkan countries, involved in relevant policy working groups and reform processes, with roles in coordination, facilitation, and inner-institutional communication.
