10 A training workshop for members of indigenous peoples and local communities who are not familiar with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) would contain different objectives and content than a workshop aimed at those with previous knowledge. Likewise, participation of government representatives can change the dynamics of the training. A training workshop may provide a platform for knowledge exchange between experts and novices with the trainer acting as a facilitator of this experience sharing. Knowledge AssessmentThe trainer should determine the target group s knowledge of the Convention and what they need to know to effectively participate in future trainings.
