Train the Trainer

As part of the „Danube Guides Train the Trainer“ project, Danube Guides trainers from nine countries are being trained through a transnational training programme. Within this project, the focus in Germany is on the Bavarian section of the Danube. By bringing together experts from nine Danube countries, the project strengthens the skills and structures required for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as well as the promotion of the Danube’s natural and cultural heritage throughout the region. 

At the heart of the initiative is the „Danube Guides Network“ (DGNet), a growing transnational network dedicated to promoting sustainable development, education and cross-border cooperation along the Danube. The newly trained Danube Guides trainers will act as multipliers within the network: in future, they will conduct their own Danube Guides training sessions, thereby helping to further expand the network, train new guides and strengthen its long-term impact in the Danube region. 

The first training sessions to be delivered by the newly qualified trainers are already being planned. Their implementation will be supported by the Erasmus+ follow-up project briDGe supported in the field of adult education.
