Core Course
The “Core Course” consists of modules designed to provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills required on a mission, independent of the specific function they will fulfil as experts in their own fields. All the modules should enhance desirable personal attitudes, stress the importance of the active involvement of the host society, and promote a reflective and critical approach with regard to the complex issues of civilian crisis prevention and management when implementing concrete projects in the field, i.e. skills that are practised in direct interaction with people. Participants will also be provided with an overall picture of the different specific functional tasks needed in a mission and how they are interrelated, which shall demonstrate the need for coherence. In addition, the Core Course will contribute to the creation of a similar management culture among future mission members, and a sense of common identity and purpose for EU mission-support.
