The series of ToTs consists of one generic ToT module and five specific ToTs modules. The purpose of the first training, the generic ToT, is refreshing and enhancing facilitation skills of the future LL SEE trainers. Two trainings are organised in Donji Seget near Trogir in Croatia, on 14-18 and 21-25 September for 37 participants coming from the local government units and public utilities from the four project countries: Bosnia and Hercegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia.
The generic ToT module consists of several sessions related to key aspects of training delivery, such as effective facilitation, crucial elements of course creation and design as well as reflective evaluation. Modern didactics-based principles and LL SEE minimum standards are key in this regard building a comprehensive ground for future LL SEE trainers.

In the next months, following the generic ToT, the participants will attend five specific ToTs on the following topics: Efficient organisation and effective management of communal services; Preparations for infrastructure investment projects; Development of infrastructure investment projects; Implementation of infrastructure investment projects; and Results-based strategic programme planning and management.
