‘“one listener, one trainer, one thought, can change the world”.
This statement could be considered as the source of inspiration from which the capacity building division bloomed into PMSA structure
It suggests that a single person, either by listening to someone's ideas, training them, or coming up with an innovative thought themselves, can have a ripple effect that spreads across the world. It reminds us that change starts from within and that we all have the ability to make a difference, no matter how small our contribution may seem.
The power of one should never be underestimated. One listener, one trainer, one thought can indeed change the world. A listener can offer a kind ear,A trainer can impart knowledge, skills, and confidence to individuals, empowering them to reach their full potential. One thought, when shared, can inspire and influence others, leading to positive change in society. It only takes one person to start a movement, and through their actions, they can inspire others to join in, creating a ripple effect that can change the world for the better.
The capacity building division seeks to empower the members of PMSA with the necessary skills and knowledge to help them achieve their full potential, the capacity building division is nicknamed as the “backbone of the union” ,and that’s because it’s the ultimate supporter that provides the union with the confident skilled trainers who are able to deliver the IFMSA’s message to the students all over the world
A quick overview of the different CB opportunities available for PMSA-Nablus members
A training session is a session focusing on developing technical and soft skills in the participants, in a way that could be of service to a certain SC focus area, a certain position within PMSA-Nablus, or their personal and professional empowerment.
A SC session is an informative session falling under the specific field of interest of any standing committee working within PMSA-Nablus.
A training series is a set of sessions happening consecutively that fall under the same theme. Participants are not expected to attend the totality of the sessions.
A workshop is a set of sessions that fall under the same theme.
Participants are expected to attend the totality of the sessions. A
certain percentage of absences may be tolerated, depending on the
conditions stated in the workshop proposal. The sessions are
consecutive and related to each other but can be spaced in time. If all
the criteria are fulfilled, the participants get a certificate after
completion.
A webinar is an engaging online event where a speaker, or small group of speakers, delivers a presentation to a large audience who participate by submitting questions, responding to polls and using other available interactive tools. Webinars are different from training sessions, which are designed to let small groups meet and collaborate in real-time. They are also different from traditional streaming media like videos, which don’t give the audience any way to engage with the content.
We’re led by a team who is always thinking, always creating, and always pushing forward.
Capacity Building is coordinated within the team of officials by the capacity building support division director (CBSDD), supported by their assistant(s).
