This workshop was delivered to a group of representatives of NGOs working with IDPs and refugees in Erbil, Iraq. It offered an opportunity for NGOs staff to share and discuss their practices and reflect on how to improve them in order to increase their impact. Through various activities, workshop participants improved their skills in delivering training and in offering refugees and IDPs a chance to look at life from a different perspective. Additionally, workshop participants learned how to conduct short and powerful meditation and relaxation sessions as well as to teach basic yoga practices.
The workshop was followed by Train-the-Trainers activities. In this way, participating NGOs are able to disseminate the newly acquired knowledge and practices in their respective fields of work, thus improving the skills of a growing number of people.
