EIUC, the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation is hosting a Training Seminar for International Electoral Observers, which will take place this November.
The EIUC has development 2 three-day modules aimed at providing training to civilian staff in election observation missions at the first steps of their career. 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 first module (17-19 November 2014) 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 second module (20-22 November 2014) 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, team-building, interviewing techniques and coordination of the STOs.
Early bird registration is available until 15 September 2014, and final deadline for applications is 15 October 2014
