Editor's Notes
- #2 For 12 years I have conducted local workshops for Geneva staff in report writing skills. I gave one workshop in the field for peacekeepers in 2012. I realized their need was great and there was a lack of opportunities. Photo: Carol in Entebbe, October 2012
- #3 Even locally many staff are excluded from our live workshops. They travel, run meetings, their supervisors are unsupportive and they are unable to attend. Wheelchair access to training rooms has also been a problem. Photo. My colleague Fiona and writing skills students in the background at a recent live workshop.
