The ifanos c&p concept of "Training cum Visit".

The name reflects its conceptual approach of a “mobile classroom”. The trainees are exposed to different, mutually supportive learning environments. Introductory key lectures, technical discourses, group work and discussions help to prepare visits of environmental management institutions and the interactions with their key representatives. Frequent field trips visualise the effectiveness of environmental management in Germany. The experience from this exposure is used to draw conclusions on ways and means to strengthen environmental management capacities in the home-countries of the participants. Co-operation arrangements with German partner institutions are initiated ensuring the sustainability of the training measure.
