Your country is specialConcerning GPP in Europe there is a

diverse level of awareness and, at the same time, national laws often show differences in how the CVD has been

adopted and used.

Take into account national particularities and the need for

customisation (e.g. legislation, case studies) when replicating the training

courses in your country.

Small groups

Remember that trainers work well in small groups in which they feel more at ease.

They tend to better share knowledge and experiences and discuss with the rest of the group. Also, participation and the skills gained are likely to be higher in

comparison with a bigger group.
