><http://www.un-instraw.org/wiki/training/index.php/Main_Page>, a tool

>publications, toolkits, guides, and other information relevant to gender

>edit, add and share information through the wiki.

>The internet is full of useful websites devoted to gender but often we

>knowledge and information is relevant, current, correct and, most
>importantly, useful to ourselves and others. Find out more about wikis

>The Gender Training Wiki
><http://www.un-instraw.org/wiki/training/index.php/Main_Page> contains a
>map displaying institutions offering gender trainings and upcoming
>trainings, a calendar with trainings in the pipeline, gender related
>training materials, a section for upcoming and online training courses
>on gender, and a directory of institutions offering training courses on
>gender. The flexibility and simplicity of the wiki software means that,
>rather than e-mailing us with your latest publication or information on
>upcoming training courses, you can yourself swiftly and easily add it to
>the wiki. Should you want help on getting started, we are happy to
>provide training and support on using the wiki. Since the wiki software
>is so dynamic we hope that the Gender Training Wiki will continue to
>grow into a complete, up-to-date, and ever developing tool for gender
>training.

>We invite you too look up your organisation and your trainings in the
>Gender Training Wiki
><http://www.un-instraw.org/wiki/training/index.php/Main_Page>, create
>your own account, add additional information and edit possible mistakes,
>enter further trainings and/or training materials on gender into the
>wiki, use the map to discover other organisations and trainings on
>gender across the globe and, of course, spread the news about the wiki
>to other colleagues and relevant organisations around the globe.

>We are all new to this technology so please do not refrain from
>e-mailing us with questions, comments, or, of course, information you
>may need assistance with adding to the wiki.
