The Training Guide is for facilitators of training courses on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol. It can be used to develop a training course on the Convention and/or the Optional Protocol, but is also helpful as a general information resource on these instruments. The Training Guide promotes interactive training sessions, intended ideally for relatively small groups of maximum 20 participants, and comprises a mix of computer slide presentations and group activities intended to encourage dialogue and exchange between facilitators and participants and among the participants themselves.
