Workshop for Vietnamese National Assembly

On the 6-10 August 2004 CDI conducted a 'train the trainers' course for the Vietnamese National Assembly on behalf of the Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA) Legal Reform Project for the Vietnam National Assembly Office. The CDI team consisted of Mr Roland Rich, Hon. Margaret Reid, Ms Vicki Bourne & Mr Minh Doung. Margaret Reid, as former Senate President and Vicki Bourne, a long serving Senator from NSW drew on their considerable parliamentary experience. Minh Duong, a former CDI summer scholar, was language specialist for the documentation. The objective of the course was to highlight best practice in adult education techniques insofar as they relate to training of parliamentarians. This was a challenging assignment as the Vietnamese tradition is locked into traditional didactic methods of education.
