From 31 July - 5 August, the 6th annual Train the Trainers workshop took place in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  Representatives from 19 countries and five continents participated. WGO-OMGE considers Train the Trainers to be one of a number of tangible contributions to the activities of the member national societies, and thus annually seeks nominations from the societies for TTT participants.

In 2007, Train the Trainers will be held in Porto, Portugal from 16 – 19 April. The application process is now open, and all interested participants are asked to contact their national societies for further information.
