Hello everyone,

As you know, one of the core aims of GROWL is to build up a trainers network on degrowth across Europe. At the beginning of the course I will present you more details on the project/network concept. For now, I wanted to remind the criteria/procedure we have set for becoming a GROWL trainer:

  1. take part in at least two GROWL courses
  2. prepare an assignment between the two courses, which includes content development and a course/workshop proposal connected with the chosen topic
  3. present it  to the network and at the second GROWL course
  4. get a positive feedback from the GROWL community and two assigned reviewers

If you are attending the course with the purpose of becoming a future trainer (i.e. attending the train-the-trainer module in Greece and at a further GROWL course), please inform me, so that I can add you to the future trainers list, where you will be able to get ideas for assignments or post your own.

I would also ask if any of you is making in Greece it's 2nd train-the-trainer course and wanting to present an assignment. In this case, I would ask you to publish beforehand an outline/short abstract of what you did and want to present on Oct. 5th.

I'm already with my 2 daughters on my way to Greece (now on the train from Vienna to Budapest) and looking forward for meeting you all and getting inspired by all that we will have the opportunity to hear, see and touch in Thessaloniki.

Dear Gualter,

I still dont understand how the parnter organizers are to become trainers - there a two possibilities.
1. They already are trainers, since they prepared a course which includes content development and a didactical workshop structure
2. They need to follow the assignments in order to keep hierachies low, but doesnt make so much sense.

Is there a coherent process for this? Looking forward to see you tomorrow! Greetings from Belgrade,
Kristina
