Delegates noted the following as areas that are in need of improvement.
• Time Management: The fact that on the first two days Delegates had to go to and wait at the Canteen for the coffee breaks, resulted in a lot of time being wasted.
• Internet Access: The unavailability of internet access, especially in the initial stages, was very inconvenient for both Delegates and Facilitators.
• Training Equipment: The two or three Braillers provided by the Organizers were insufficient, especially where Delegates were given individual activities.
• The Provision of the Workshop content in a form for later use: although the Workshop provided ample opportunity for the internalization and retention of the information presented, making the information available in a documented form (Braille, Large Print, Electronic) and/or a list of the original sources from which the information was derived would have been helpful.
From all recollections, the Workshop was a major success, providing participants with a wealth of information, which if diligently utilized should result in effective leaders and a bright future for the various Organizations serving persons who are blind and visually impaired in the Caribbean and the World.
