GENERAL INFORMATION

TRAINING CURRICULUM  

The Training of Trainers (ToT) for Community-based Inclusive Development (CBID) course is specially designed to strengthen and to promote an on-going application of new CBR guidelines in disability and development. The launching of the new Guidelines on CBR in October 2010 serves as a crucial step forward to enhance CBR projects and improve the quality of life of people with disabilities in community. As such, the need for highly qualified CBID trainers will be in greater demand.

In compliance with the above theme, the ToT course at APCD is a state-of-the art training, facilitated by highly recognized APCD resource persons with up-to-date CBR concepts and techniques that participants can directly apply into their practice. The participatory training approach is the heart of APCD training design to promote the empowerment of persons with disabilities and the creation of an inclusive society in the Asian-Pacific region.

In addition, we emphasize the experiential learning model along to ensure that training participants will be fully equipped with knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to become more confident leaders and eventually master CBR projects in the field.

Training Components  

The course is based on new CBR guidelines, on the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; in addition, two principles are highlighted including self-advocacy (Empowerment) of persons with disabilities and sustainability (Management). Thus, the APCD training component is specifically design to cover those key areas throughout the training in order to achieve a core balance in preparing training participants to become effective CBID implementers.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the learning, promote accessibility, and provide the most comfortable and productive learning environment, APCD International Training Department pays attention to the participants’ screening process to maximize everyone learning opportunity.
