The study entitled „Policy brief – Training of Trainers results analysis” is conducted by Cristina Melnic and Ion Cristea, external relations experts at New Strategy Center. This analysis is part of the FLANKS II project, funded by the Bilateral Relations Fund 2014-2021 and co-published by New Strategy Center, Romania in partnership with the Norwegian Institute for International Relations. The study examines the results of training of trainers activities conducted in collaboration with the West University of Timisoara, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ileana Rotaru.
Within this initiative, 14 students from the West University of Timișoara participated in training sessions in October 2023, and subsequently, 135 students from various UVT faculties participated in follow-up activities. The aim of the activities was to create a peer-to-peer learning environment for information hygiene familiarization. The results of this training were analyzed in the context of a national survey conducted in March 2023, addressing perceptions of the war in Ukraine and support for Euro-Atlantic institutions in Romania and Norway.
