The new Sphere training pack was piloted during a four-day workshop in Nairobi in March 2019.

Like the Sphere Handbook<\/a>, this updated tool is written in plain language, so it is easier for non-native English speakers to understand and easier to translate.\n\nThe pack of 20 training modules was updated based on the feedback of trainers and learners who have been using the previous version of the tool since 2012. It is Sphere\u2019s most popular learning and training resource \u2013 downloaded more than 1,700 times in 2018 alone \u2013 and the main support tool for lecturers, learning consultants and field trainers who organise Sphere workshops.\n\nThe pack contains five days\u2019 worth of materials. Its modular nature means it can be used in its entirety, broken up into shorter workshops or injected into broader initiatives such as humanitarian degree programmes.\n\nBefore its release, the training pack was tested during a four-day event in Nairobi organised by the Inter-Agency Working Group, one of the Sphere Focal Points<\/a> in Kenya. The participants\u2019 feedback was used to adjust some of the content and exercises to improve the final product based on real experience.\n\nThe training pack will be translated into French, Spanish and Arabic in the coming months to serve the learning needs of an even broader group of practitioners.\n\n \n
