UN-HABITAT’s training workshops are practical, interactive and oriented towards behavioral change through reflection on participants’ local data and action planning. The learning tools and methods ensure group interaction, inquiry and learning by doing. The Training Workshops are kept deliberately small to ensure maximum involvement and impact. UNHABITAT organizes national, regional and global workshops to facilitate the localization of GUO tools, methodologies and guidelines.
