Training in Rizal

Last week Macel and I went to do some training in Rizal Province, about 2 hrs away from Manila. The purpose of the training was to orientate people from the University of Rizal on how to establish a Gender Resource Center. We had a look at the proposed site at the university and provided some technical assistance on the best way they could go about setting up a Center.

Our audience - Gender Focal Points from throughout Rizal Province, mainly based in universities.

My counterpart Macel is a great trainer and is one of those people who can just stand in front of an audience and eloquently talk about an issue. It's something I need training on! I presented on some experiences of other Gender Resource Centers in operation throughout the country and had to read most of it from my notes. Perhaps I just need more practice . . .


One of my more 'tangible' outputs - a brochure I developed on Gender Resource Centers.
