Content and Structure
- 4 halfday trainings sessions
- The training sessions are moderated by CIFAL Flanders. Depending on the theme of the session, an external speaker will join with expertise in this field.
- As a common thread throughout the SDG Masterclass, the CIFAL 'Action Learning Methodology' and the related 6 working fields will be used. The SDG Training Manual is used as a roadmap to implementation. The SDG Wheel -and related exercises- will be used as an 'assessment tool', a critical SDG assessment tool to strengthen your organization's sustainability strategy.
- You use your own organisation as a case study throughout all training sessions. Participants are asked to make 'homework' each session to complete the exercises. You learn in a multi-actor atmosphere.
