Training New Facilitators in Turkey

May 2007: WLP Turkey/Foundation for the Support of Women’s Work (FSWW) conducted a National Training of Trainers Institute for five women in Çorlu city, all of whom had previously participated in a leadership training workshop.

All of the women were employed and had graduated from university. They worked as volunteers in the women’s cooperatives. The training explored topics such as: the condition of women in Turkey and worldwide, the importance of tolerance and embracing diversity, obstacles to communication, and methods for working with grassroots women. Participants also discussed the role of a good leader and effective facilitation.

Margarita* said, “I found this training very useful. Since I work as a teacher, I said why not become a facilitator of the Leading to Choices workshops and apply these new skills.”

The participants will go on to facilitate further leadership trainings in Turkey.
