The second module provides them with profound knowledge of international and national standards regarding the use of preventive measures alternative to detention. It encourageded to apply such alternative measures effectively, thus reducing the widespread use of pre-trial detention.
During the ToT the trainers were equipped with tools and techniques essential for the delivery of high-quality trainings in human rights topics. They became familiar with the training cycle management process and improved their presentation skills. The training provided a perfect opportunity to acquire new methodology skills and exchange experience with international consultants.
