Empowering Participation in education and organization
The training consists of 10 sessions in which participants develop the knowledge and skills needed to participate effectively within the organisation.

The sessions cover topics such as understanding governance and decision-making, strengthening communication and influence, collaborating in diverse groups, and improving educational quality. In addition, attention is given to translating plans into concrete actions, negotiating and engaging in constructive dialogue, and using feedback for team development. The training concludes with reflection on personal growth, motivation, and strengthening future impact.
