About us
About us and our training programmes
The Programme will ensure that development workers and volunteers about to undertake work in Southern countries are adequately trained and prepared for the challenges and complexities of their future roles. The Programme will also provide professional development opportunities for head office and country based staff of NGOs and missionary organisations and will be involved in preparing election observers for overseas election missions.
Dtalk provides a wide range of short-term courses (1-4 days in duration) covering an extensive range of topics. These topics cover everything from Initial Preparation for Working in the South to Understanding HIV and Community Responses to all aspects of management (Proposal Writing, Logical Framework Analysis, Monitoring and Evaluation and Financial Management) to Sustainable Livelihoods, Advocacy, Creative Facilitation, International Humanitarian Law, etc.
Dtalk also provides Tailor-made courses for Irish-based and field-based staff from NGO and missionary organisations as well as Irish Aid staff. Please visit Dtalk’s website at www.dtalk.ie to learn more about tailor made courses.
