Training Seminar for International Electoral Observers: applications are open (deadline 4 October 2017)

Admissions to the two-three day modules (6-8 November 2017 and 9-11 November 2017) of the Training Seminar for International Electoral Observers are open until 4 October 2017, early bird 4 September 2017 (with 10% discount).

The first module (6-8 November) will highlight the quantitative observation of the STOs. Starting with a thorough introduction on the international observation theory and legal standards the first module will analyse the practical life of a short term observer from the selection procedure to the end of mission including the observation of the polls, the filling of the forms, the reporting system and the code of the conduct. The methodology will combine frontal lecturers in plenary, working groups as well as role plays, discussions and simulation exercises.

The second module (9-11 November) is principally intended as a complementary step for those participants who have already attended the first module or the 2012 edition of EIUC training for international observers. EIUC will nevertheless also accept candidatures from first time applicants to EIUC’s trainings seminars. The second module will introduce the participants to the long-term election observation by analysing in depth some of the aspects related to an international observation mission such as working relations, interviewing techniques, media and security. Read more about the programme...
