The echo training focused on identifying gender issues to understand and identify solutions applicable in handling Filipinos in distress in Bangladesh. Embassy personnel also received basic training in conducting psychological first-aid as well as ways to meditate and manage stress.

The activity was formally opened by Third Secretary and Vice-Consul LV I. de Guzman at the Philippine Chancery. The echo training was organized as part of the Department of Foreign Affairs Gender and Development Program, which aims to promote gender sensitivity and equality in the consciousness of foreign service personnel.
