Participant in Second Conference on Damage Reduction and Public Policies


Explanation:
It's not a course, it's a jornada...which is a conference....

It would be nice to have SOME CONTEXT

It probably is on reduction of damage caused by public policies but there is no way to tell with no context

Explanation:
Participant at the Second Workshop on Damage Reduction and Public Policies

I'd call "Jornadas" a "Workshop".

Explanation:
The gerund is more commonly used for titles in the U.S. (if the translations are for the U.S.). Also, as it is about number, "decrease" seems to fit better than "reduce".
I used the symbol "&", so that "Public Policies" will not erroneously look like another object of "Decreasing", but an independent subject (Public Policies to be adopted, or something like that.)
