The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission in collaboration with Asia Pacific Forum held a Training of Trainers’ Workshop in Yangon from the 3rd to the 7th of June 2013 at Hotel Yangon. The Workshop was attended by (12) senior staff members of the Asia Pacific Region National Human Rights Institutions. A total of (9) countries were represented at the Workshop: namely; Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Nepal, India and Myanmar. The Workshop is the second phase of a two phase blended learning Workshop, the first  being the one month on-line training course that took place from the 8th of April to the 3rd of May 2013.

The on-line training course consists of (4) Modules which the participants have to undertake by going through the learning and reading materials of each module and completing the assignments proscribed to each module.

Only the participants who were  able to fulfill all the requirements were selected for the face- to- face workshop held in Yangon. Participants from a number of countries who were not able to meet the prerequisite requirement, unfortunately did not make it to the  workshop held in Yangon. Professor Chris Sidoti led a team of (4) Master Trainers in conducting  the face-to-face Workshop. It was a very fruitful (5) day event and what was stated in the first day of the Workshop, ” Learning is fun-” proved true in every sense of the word. All in all it was a workshop that exceeded all the expectations.
