Surely, my impressions As a Participant of this course are somewhat different... and you know why? As it was my first study session, my first trip abroad, and moreover the working language of the course was Russian, and I’m not brilliant at it. But I decided to take a courage; application was formed and I was among the participants. Let get it started! The whole course went at a comfortable pace and the content was never boring. I certainly achieved my learning objectives. The trainers were very experienced and professional, they taught a lot of things in a short time, but made everything very clear and set us up so that we are able to use the skills we learned for work immediately. The session was just ten days long, but our skills on human rights grew dramatically in that short period; the course was designed for group learning and team exercises, which allowed us to learn from others and get a new perspective. And as for the participants they were just amazing. There were 24 participants from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Armenia, Georgia, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. Each of them was benevolent, ready to help you in every step. I can’t but mention about guys, who always were there for me and even doing Russian-English translations ;) - Doinița and Denis :* :) For a conclusion I can add that I really enjoyed the program. I received wonderful feedback to take back to my workplace and I felt it was worth my time invested.
