"Train the trainers" - workshop
On 16.02.2021, the online workshop "Train the trainers” organized by the Hamburg Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) finally took place. Though, the workshop was initially set live for early 2020 in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, a thorough rescheduling enabled the HFRS to create an online workshop with equal content.
After the general introduction by Mr Jürgen Krempin (HFRS) as responsible organizer, the morning session was marked by theoretical lectures which gave participants a comprehensive insight into the following topics:
The first lecture offered an ‘Introduction to Sendai Framework and Paris Agreement’ presented by Mrs Janet Edwards (MSB)
Mr Valdur Lahtvee (CBSS) spoke about the topic ‘Policy Coherence and Practical Overlap: DRR and CCA’.
Mrs Evelin Piirsalu (SEIT) presented ‘Barriers to Successful Integrated Climate Risk Assassment’.
Colleagues from SGSP Mrs Oksana Telak and Mr Jerzy Wolanin finalised the morning session with lectures in the context of ‘Understanding Disaster Risk’ and ‘Guidelines for Integrated Climate Change and Risk Reduction Management for Local Authorities’.

In the afternoon, the theoretically contents presented in the morning were applied in a group work on the basis of a case study. For this purpose, the HFRS team acted as coaches to supervise the different small groups working on the case study. Subsequently, the results were discussed in the collective group. With more than 50 participants from various European countries, the seven-hour workshop was a clear success for the organizers and participants.
During the next weeks, the project management and work package leaders will discuss the following steps and actions to be carried out until the end of the project in June 2021.
