From June 5 to June 16 2000, the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) will invite its national training partners to participate in an intensive 'Train-the-Trainers' programme on the IICD premises in The Netherlands. Around fifteen training partners from organisations in Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda and Jamaica will take part in this highly interactive course. Participants already have a solid background in ICT and training. The course's aim is to provide insight into methodologies and concepts of self-directed and lifelong learning. It will focus on the use of interactive courseware materials, i.e. computer-based training courseware programmes, other ICT learning resources, as well as financial, administrative and management-related issues.
