Training participants were quite active from the very beginning of the course since thematic of training sessions was quite pressing and full of practical issues with which training participants face in their everyday life.
Educational program is notable for its novelty since the Commission on the Rights of the Child has underwent a series of reforms but the activity of the Commission is not being highlighted at trainings and seminars. Training participants said this was their first-ever training of such character.
Training sessions allowed children rights experts to increase their legal potential, establish business links with each other, study experience of their colleagues, share their experience and identify spheres of potential cooperation in the future. Additionally, training participants received post-training practical consultations on everyday activity.
Detailed results of these training sessions are available in the Otrazhenie/Inikos journal, №2, 2010.
