What will you get from attending a CCNet Conservation Coach Training?
Strengthen your skills and experience as a facilitator and coach leading and supporting teams with diverse needs through planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation, and learning processes in conservation and sustainable development projects. The training will prepare you to teach practitioners and teams the basic principles of the Open Standards, help teams identify strategies, develop measures, explicitly articulate and capture a team’s uncertainties, and encourage ongoing assessment, learning and continuity of effort.
Besides having a great time interacting with committed conservation colleagues at the training, once you complete the course you will join a global network of more than 600 CCNet coaches who help teams do better, smarter conservation that achieves tangible results, benefiting people and nature globally.
