During the Train4Dev 2010 Annual Meeting in Marseille (1-3 June 2010) several participants expressed the need to improve the methodological quality of the joint learning events. The Core Group result matrix 2009-2010 indicates that, to achieve the result of ‘strengthened knowledge sharing on effective approaches to learning’, a key activity would be to create a toolbox of pedagogical approaches.

It was decided during the Annual Meeting to develop a “Methodological guide to design, implement and evaluate joint learning events”. The ITC-ILO is coordinating the collaborative writing and review of this guide for use by Train4Dev members, as well as for national experts and consultants that collaborate with the network to facilitate joint learning events.

This wiki was conceived as a writespace to allow Train4Dev memebers to easily access the progress of the project and contribute according to their own schedules. Three on-line meetings will also be organized to capture ideas, resources and initial content for the guide. Following the closure of the wiki on February 25, 2011. A writeshop will be held to allow Train4Dev member representatives to elaborate the guide in a participatory face-to-face environment.

The final product of the shared process will be presented at the Train4Dev Annual Meeting in June, 2011.
