A2K is organizing an event called Train-the-Trainer (TTT), which has been held seven times from 2013 to 2020. This event is a way for us to build upon our previous achievements. The program will place a strong emphasis on experiential learning, encouraging participants to learn through practical experiences and hands-on activities. Moreover, the workshop will focus on identifying and addressing biases that might hinder the growth of inclusive and diverse communities.
