Training Course on Preparing for
International Conferences 2019 18 - 21 March 2019, Bangkok, Thailand The Training Course on Preparing
for International Conferences (TCPIC) 2019 was held from 18 – 21 March 2019
at APT Headquarters, Bangkok, Thailand. The training course was attended by
29 trainees from 14 Member States and one Affiliate Member. There were 8 prominent
experts who performed as lecturers for this training course, namely Mr.
Mohamed Amir, Consultant, Maldives; Dr. Bob Horton, Consultant, Australia;
Mr. Seiichi Tsugawa, KDDI Cooperation, Japan; Ms. Prewprae Chumrum, Ministry
of Commerce, Thailand, Ms. Thasawan Samorwong, Ministry of Digital Economy
and Society, Thailand; Mr. Hitoshi Kozaki, Embassy of Japan in Thailand; and
Mr. Ashish Narayan, ITU Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. The objectives of this training
course were to provide an opportunity especially for young generation to
learn about international conferences, its structure, decision-making
process, roles of chairman, and basic skills of trade negotiations and
discussions etc., and to participate in actual negotiation and discussion
through role play exercises, simulated international conferences so called as
“Mock Conference”. This training course consisted of
classroom lectures as well as role play exercises which offered all the
trainees a hands-on experience to take part in discussions and negotiations,
and opportunity to make a presentation in front of other trainees at the
“Mock Conference”. The theme for this year’s
training course was “5 AI Principles”. Each participant prepared his/her own
idea for “5 AI Principles” before the training course. Then trainees
were divided into small groups where they discussed the group’s “5 AI
Principles”. There were regional, inter-regional and international “Mock”
conferences where participants were exposed to exercise their ability for
presentation, persuasion, negotiation and coordination. Through the whole period of the
training course, the trainees participated actively in the activities including
actual negotiation and discussion. Finally they successfully established
their own “5 AI Principles” through the role play exercise as a consensus of
all the trainees. The trainees expressed their
impression about this training course. Some of their opinions are “It's a
good experience in seeing how international conferences work, how things
could go wrong, and what should be done to avoid that.”, “In my opinion,
this training is very effective for all of us as we are on the way to more
collaboration, as well.” and “More training should be arranged in
future.” APT plans to organize this
training course in the future. Click here for more details. |
