agree  David Moore (X): Souvenirs - that's what they CERTAINLY are!!
1 hr
  -> Thanks. Just that they are practical souvenirs.
neutral  Nicole Tata: technically yes, but doesn't this evoke images of holiday and tourism? It does to me. ;-)
2 hrs
  -> that's because you are thinking too much of holidays Nicole ;-) - in essence your doubts should equally apply to mementos.
agree  Ellen Zittinger: could be, souvenirs that are practical and useful..

another small, highly practical gift ... as a reminder


Explanation:
further small, highly practical gifts will be given to the instructors (trainers, workshop leaders, faculty members) as a reminder (or: reinforcement ((of the messages or content))if that fits the context).

Is "In einer zweiten Aktion" meant in time or is the emphasis on the instructors as a second group of recipients (the students/participants being the first group)?

(Have been on the receiving end; we also call them tschokes or desk toys.)
