The term Homemaker has been used to describe roles which range from a friendly visitor, to a teaching role, to that of a domestic or nursing aide (Canadian Council of Social Development, 1971). To avoid any confusion the Homemakers referred to in this article are essentially support workers with a teaching orientation. Their role is to prevent breakdown in the family unit by acting as a resource to the parent in a range of problem areas, but with a specific focus on child rearing. They aim to protect, restore or improve family functioning in the area of physical, social and emotional health. In some situations they may perform practical tasks to help improve the quality of life in the home, but generally their main task is to assist the parent to acquire the necessary skills.

At present, Japan's public sector training programmes not only provide public employees with needed knowledge and skill, but also aids in the development of executives. The article examines Japanese perceptions about the value of the training programmes and the needs which they address. It looks at various training programmes since 1952 and concludes that although they seem very oriental and have obviously Japanese characteristics, the Japanese training programmes in the public sector, taken as a whole, are essentially Western in their conceptual foundations.

Texts on the six schools and six courses offered by ReIReS Studying the doctrinal features of religious beliefs or examining the relation between a religious community and a social, economic, cultural and political framework at a specific historical moment in fact requires an acquaintance with a plural and highly diversified set of sources. The study of these sources requires the use of cross-disciplinary methodologies that make it possible to account for the specific features of each individual historical document. Through its access policy, ReIReS provides young scholars with a programme of training activities that enables them to become acquainted with the skills required for historical-religious studies in terms of methodological, historical and linguistic knowledge, as well as scholarly contributions from other disciplines. ReIReS makes it possible to train a new generation of scholars and to prepare them to develop groundbreaking research via an innovative training programme.

Chinese child psychiatrists have recognised a need to secure training that represents the most advanced ideas in their field. Turning to senior child psychiatrists in the United States, Dr Jianping Lu worked with them to design a training programme for child psychiatrists in Shenzhen, which then expanded to become a national model. This article details the reasons for the programme, its origins and history, and the outline of the current programme that now reaches child psychiatrists throughout China.

More than 20% of the European fishing fleets catches are taken from non-European waters. Access to these waters is often based on agreements with coastal states that allow the EU fleet to fish from surplus stocks in return for financial support. These agreements have been subjected to criticism, as these fisheries are sometimes poorly regulated and management decisions are often based on limited knowledge, compliance, and enforcement capabilities. It is also too often the case that trust between stakeholders is lacking. The aim of the FarFish project is to overcome these hurdles. The FarFish project is designed around six case study areas in which the European fleet is actively engaged in fishing activities, including Cape Verde, Mauritania, Senegal and Seychelles, as well as the international high-seas areas in the southeast and southwest Atlantic. In this context of geographic, economic and cultural diversity, the project will gain insights into the sustainability of commercially important species. Significant focus of the FarFish project is placed on education, knowledge transfer, and improving professional skills and competences of stakeholders within the case studies and beyond within the field of fisheries management. This includes education and knowledge transfer to a wide variety of stakeholders within the respective value chains, utilising different means; such as social media, e-learning, Tutor-web, a special university-level certificate program in Marine Management and Innovation and a six-month post-graduate program tailor-made for FarFish. This document reports on the setup and launching of the six-month post-graduate program, which was launched in September 2018 and will graduate at least five students before end of the FarFish project. Two students have already been graduated when this report is published and four more have been invited to join the programme in September 2019.
