About our training on Train the Trainer

Capacity building and cooperation are essential for advancing the energy transition in a sustainable and equitable way. Civil society organisations, research institutions and think tanks play pivotal roles by providing science-based evidence, proposing policy solutions and fostering inclusive dialogue. Effectively sharing knowledge, experiences and skills across the spectrum of energy transition actors is crucial for accelerating change, overcoming obstacles and finding innovative solutions.

With knowledge sharing now a central mission for most actors in this space, it is important for experts to develop skills in didactics and training design. This includes using interactive learning formats that go beyond merely presenting information. Interactive knowledge-sharing formats are highly effective in motivating participants leave with practical ideas, plans and actions. Incorporating dynamic, participatory and engaging formats helps to foster more impactful and empowering learning experiences.

The Train-the-Trainer programme focuses on a learner-centred approach, shifting the focus from the content to the learning outcomes and needs of the target group. This demand-driven approach improves the impact of knowledge-sharing and ensures that key messages and skills are effectively absorbed – important when engaging with policymakers and other stakeholders.

Drawing on our extensive experience, Agora will host a three-day programme to equip trainers with the tools, methods and best practice examples needed to design, implement and review their own knowledge-sharing and training formats. Upon completing the training, participants will be able to enhance knowledge-sharing efforts within their networks, using learning-focused tools to ensure successful workshops and trainings.

Our upcoming trainings

We currently do not have an open call for applications for the Train-the-Trainer programme.

What to expect

Participants will leave the Train-the-Trainer programme with the skills to design and deliver interactive learning experiences for civil society organisations on any climate and energy topics.

Specifically, participants will be able to:

Identify target group needs and characteristics and develop concise, tailored learning objectives to ensure participants of their learning formats leave with knowledge gaps filled and practical skills acquired.
Identify, select and apply interactive learning tools and approaches to foster collaboration, dialogue, knowledge-sharing and collective learning in the training that they deliver.
Develop and review plans, resources and content for the formats of their choice (webinar, event, workshop, training programme) for civil society organisations on climate and energy topics. These should be practical, engaging and aligned with intended learning outcomes.
Enhance instructional and facilitation skills using diverse tools and interactive activities to create dynamic and participatory learning environments that maximise learner engagement and retention.

Who is eligible

The programme is designed for institutions interested in strengthening their capacity to deliver trainings on energy transition or climate change topics to their local civil society or allied constituency groups. Participants are expected to have some technical knowledge of the subject matter they plan to share but do not need prior experience in hosting or delivering trainings.
