We recognise that developing an accurate and representative set of progress measures for a society can be challenging. The Global Project is assisting this effort by providing various tools, one of which is training.
Our courses are a mix of formal teaching, interactive sessions and group work. The emphasis is on interactive and peer to peer learning, involving participants in debates, discussions and group exercises. You can see an example of the kind of activities we do by viewing the Measuring Poverty Exercise from the Ottawa, Canada course 2009, and an extract of one group’s presentation in response to another exercise, entitled ‘My name is Muma’.
