Over the weekend 23 enthusiastic VSO volunteers and 3 trainers descended on the VSO training centre in Birmingham for the SKWID course. Pronounced 'squid' this is the Skills for Working in International Development course, which runs over 3 days. We discussed how to demonstrate the impact of our placements, practised our facilitation skills, built bridges and tried to trade carefully cut paper shapes. The weekend finished with a very helpful and eye opening health and security briefing.
We all learnt so much and it was great to meet other people going through the same journey. Good luck to you all on your placements.
