This two and a half day training will provide civil society organizations with a menu of tools to build a more effective response to hate violence. Using techniques modeled in the training, NGOs will craft and implement strategies tailored to individual country and community challenges. Civil society participants will be trained on a variety of models; from establishing partnerships with officials, to monitoring, and victim support. The training will include lecture, group discussions, interactive activities, and small group work covering all the major topic areas in the resource guide. At the culmination of the training, participants will have an opportunity to propose a small scale project modeled on the training to implement in their community.

The training will be conducted in English.
