CIPE Regional Office Holds ToT Workshop in Serbia

During the third stage of its training-of-trainers program, CIPE Regional Office has held local workshops, in each of the four countries that are represented by the participants in the program: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Serbia.

The local workshops are meant to allow the participants to make the transition from being practitioners in a certain sector to being able to cross the boundaries of their own field and facilitate sessions on a variety of business association management topics, for various sectors. Moreover, the seminars seek to address the needs of local business support organizations.

A workshop was held in Valjevo, Serbia on October 6, 2010, and was organized by CIPE’s Serbian partners, the Regional Chamber of Commerce Valjevo and EVE Association of Business Women. Two Serbian trainers, who have successfully completed the previous two stages of the program, gave presentations and engaged the audience in exercises and vivid discussions on programs and services, as well as membership issues.





Each presenter was invited to choose a business association management topic beforehand and to deliver a presentation in front of their guests. The audience included the presenters’ peers, as well as guests from Serbian business associations, women’s business associations, and regional chambers of commerce (such as Pancevo, Kraljevo and Nis Chambers of Commerce, etc.). CIPE Regional Office Program Director Camelia Bulat took part in the workshop as an observer. She has also provided customized feedback with regards to each presentation and assisted each participant with the preparation of their materials and presentations.





The presenters and the titles of the presentations that they have delivered are as follows:
•    Ljubica Markovic, Secretary, Science, Information and Education Committee - Regional Chamber of Commerce Valjevo, EVE Association of Business Women - Programs and Services of Business Associations: How to Design and Sell Them
•    Zoran Markovic, Senior Expert, IT Association - Regional Chamber of Economy, Nis - Voluntary Chamber Membership: Pro’s and Con’s.





All presentations and the corresponding materials were offered in Serbian. After each presentation, time was allotted to discussions between the participants. Finally, the participants were given the opportunity to evaluate each of the six presenters by filling out evaluation forms. The participants’ feedback is useful for two reasons: it helps the presenters improve their presentation skills and it gives CIPE a clearer idea of the presenters’ progress.
