- Travel
- Legal aspects, ownership and authorship of trainers’ work
- Self-management.
What will be produced?
- A collection of tips/hacks and inspiring stories from trainers covering all the above topics.
- A Survival Manual with practical guidance for international trainers.
- An online support system for trainers including webinars with experts and live peer support.
- A massive open online course on the topics mentioned.
All these resources will be available on the Guild webpage.

The project was created and implemented by an international consortium of four organisations.
