Our approach to training combines four pedagogical pillars designed to provide participants with hands-on and practical solutions to challenges facing today’s decision-makers:

• Concept learning, through brief presentations, lectures and visual aides
  
  
• Role-playing, through gaming and simulation exercises
  
  
• Real-world exposure, through case studies, illustrations of good practice, lessons learned, Internet broadcasts and videos
  
  
• Experience sharing, through working group, round table discussions, and participant interaction
  

Taken together, these pillars enable participants to acquire an understanding of issues and processes from multiple angles, as well as skills, techniques and know-how to function more effectively and efficiently as diplomats and negotiators.
