More than thirty participants: CLC managers and members from Almaty and Taraz cities, Almaty and Zhambyl provinces from Kazakhstan, and CLC managers and members from Talas, Naryn and Osh provinces from Kyrgyzstan attended the workshop.During two days the country participants discussed the issues of teaching-learning process and youth upbringing, development of skills to live together and ensuring ethnic and confessional consent.
Within the workshop agenda the participants developed workplans for next information and training activities for the local population. The participants also focused attention on the leading role of CLC in promotion of non-formal education at local level.
Use of interactive teaching methods allowed all participants to be involved in the training process. Interchange of theory with the practical work has enabled to keep interest and active atmosphere during the workshop.
