Training Seminars for International Electoral Observers

EIUC has developed two three-day modules aiming at providing training to civilian staff in election observation missions at the first steps of their career (i.e. short term observers). Selected applicants will be allowed to become aware of the role, the tasks and the status of international observers, and will be given a theoretical and practical training on election observation and election observation missions functioning.

The aim of the course is to deepen the theoretical and practical expertise on election observation missions, in providing participants with practical skills which will be an asset in case of further applications as international observers. The course is divided into 2 modules:

Module I (Dates: 18-20 April 2016): will highlight the quantitative observation of the STOs;
Module II (Dates: 21-23 April 2016): 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.

Lectures are conceived for an audience of graduates mainly in Law, Political Sciences, Economics, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology or similar;
Those who want to address international election observation from a multi-disciplinary approach that will be useful in further engagements on the field;
All courses will be held in English, therefore, essential that all participants understand and speak English fluently.
