A conference on minority rights and training held in Gatwick, England, in April 1997 had the following purposes: (1) to explore training about minority rights and the need to make majorities aware of minority rights and attitudes that improve cooperation between communities; and (2) to look at the need for and possibilities of training relief professionals. The main issues discussed in the minority training workshop centered on five themes: the relative merits of local, regional, and international initiatives; is the need for information, awareness raising, or training?; what should training be about?; who should be trained?; and learning from positive and negative experiences. The workshop on training relief professionals working in conflict situations identified seven key areas that might bring positive results: effective tools for relief organizations to identify communities and assess needs; a database of experts on relevant issues; training of relief professionals in a variety of organizations; networking meetings among experts and organizations; more consideration of how to choose local partners; extending training to the wider society; and developing indicators for monitoring progress.
