5 Trainer’s Comments to the Training Session
· This kind of workshop is very useful and needed. (Good experience)
· I recommend to make more space, time for interactive discussion, for work in group session, including informal discussion. Unfortunately, participants had no time to see Prague
· Thank you
· We should be trained more on practical examples
· More group work (exchange of experiences between existing and new MS)
· Where I indicated 1-s, it means that I didn't participate, not that I was dissatisfied \n \n (there should have been a place ti tick if you were not there - mostly in case of IPPC and EIA breakout sessions, one could participate only one of them)
