Objectives for wind system construction training

· To provide trainees during training with all necessary information, skills, materials, tools, and resources to allow them to transfer their knowledge and experience to other communities.

· To enjoy the training experience, both in work and play.

· To improve the understanding of wind water pumping technology through experimental learning.

· To improve personal and group dynamic skills.

· To be able to adapt the wind technology they have learned to new situations.
