However , attendance at these seminars is not required for master sergeants and first sergeants to remain eligible for promotion . During the seminar were discussed the issues related to the importance of wetlands and the need for their protection . The Ministers were speaking prior to attending a seminar being held at Whitehall in London to explore issues around the effective communication of policy proposals and ideas as an integral part of the policy development process . An MA thesis on a topic usually related to the work in one of the seminars is required . One of the unique structural aspects of the DPRG seminars is the 1hr 45 minute seminar duration . I looked at the calendar this morning and realized our seminar is in two weeks . The free seminar is conducted by a nationally-noted legal scholar and law professor who uses the Socratic method of teaching , which is used by many first-year law professors . Hours of seminar are arranged with the Mills supervisor . This seminar is one of a number of events taking place at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office this week to celebrate the UK 's religious and cultural diversity . The examples provided in the seminar are too detailed to explain here , but if / when I get the links to the seminar notes , I will post the URL where you can find them . Research has shown that truly participating members of a training seminar are more likely to view the presenter as credible and , consequently , attach value to the material . In terms of broader themes , the seminar is framed as an extended discussion about the role of law and litigation strategy in a civil rights campaign , with special attention paid to the ongoing lesbian and gay rights movement and other emerging civil rights movements centered on gender and sexuality . As co-operation plays a key role in prevention , material gathered for training seminars is also distributed to regional NGOs in Ukraine , Moldova and Belarus that deal with the prevention of trafficking in human beings in these countries . Participants in the seminar are responsible for meeting the costs of their travel to and from Rome , and their living and accommodation expenses while in Rome . The practicum and co-requisite seminar were the first in a series of six field experiences . The seminar is expected to assist senior managers in identifying how to engage effectively in the PRSPs and MDG processes and to use available resources both to meet immediate demands for data and to enhance sustained capacity in the medium term . The purpose of the seminars is to explore broader strategic issues in the Caucasus and the Caspian basin , including : oil and pipeline politics in the Caspian ; the war in Chechnya ; the ongoing conflicts in Georgia , Nagorno-Karabakh , and North Ossetia-Ingushetia ; the role of the Russian military ; Russia 's relations with Turkey , Iran and other regional powers ; and increasing US engagement in the region . For our evaluation , because of the availability of only two sets of students , repeated PBA measures of four students in the specialized seminar were compared to the repeated PBA measures of the other four students in the traditionally taught seminar . Many of the groups who attended the seminar are listed at the end of this report .
