Dear NMOs and IFMSA Members, I hope this email finds you happy, healthy & contributing to our capacity! On behalf of the CB IT, I come bearing fantastic news for our established trainers/facilitators. We’re more than thrilled to finally announce the opening of the call for the IFMSA Trainers’ Camp 2026 Host! What is the Trainers Camp? In-Person Trainers Camp is a 4-working day event designed to enhance trainers' skills beyond traditional training workshops. Trainers Camp 2026 will be covering topics such as advanced facilitation techniques, mentorship, coaching, personal growth, and psychology-based training skills. It will also provide a unique opportunity to collaborate with trainers from IFMSA and other NGOs. Why Trainers' Camp? In Capacity Building, we believe that continuous education, quality assurance, and long-term sustainability are key to strengthening our trainers. Just because you already graduated from a workshop does not mean that your education is complete! Trainers Camp is a next-level training initiative that empowers trainers and facilitators with advanced topics, innovative methodologies, and strategic discussions to enhance trainers education and help develop NMOs by strengthening its foundation. Goals of Trainers Camp: Capacitate IFMSA trainers & facilitators with advanced concepts of non-formal education Create a space for networking, constructive discussion and sharing of ideas. Build a solid foundation for self development, leadership and coaching skills of IFMSA trainers & facilitators Capacitate IFMSA trainers & facilitators with new session delivery techniques Improve sustainability of CB in IFMSA by ensuring continuous development of trainers & facilitators
