As part of the British Council’s programme of regional projects in the Near East and North Africa region, a series of teacher training workshops were developed by a team from Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia. From January 2006 all participating countries delivered Teacher Training workshops in their respective countries in Phase 2 of the Project cycle. As Phase 3, this workshop prepared and equipped trainees to deliver workshops for other teachers in more remote areas of Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia. |
