Pre-Deployment Training Course

Pre-Deployment Kosovo

27 January 2014 - 31 January 2014
Jable Castle near Ljubljana, Slovenia

27-31 January 2014 - CANCELLED!

The 5-day pre-deployment training course is addressed to experts selected to be deployed to missions conducted by the EU, the OSCE or the UN in Kosovo.

The course aims at fostering a common level of knowledge and at creating similar expectations among mission members, which in turn facilitates the integration and coherence of the missions.

This will be achieved specifically by building a common understanding among future mission members of:

  • The EU crisis management system;
  • Kosovo’s history and distinct political and cultural features;
  • International presence in Kosovo: background, key actors and coordination systems;
  • Practical field-related issues.

By focusing on function-specific issues, the course aims to equip participants with the essential knowledge and information necessary to be active team members and to operate smoothly in the respective area of assignment. The training will be organised in a highly interactive manner with two round tables, role playing, simulation, and several case studies in which participants will be able to acquire new knowledge and skills. The added value of the training is first-hand information from Kosovo as well as networking possibilities, which support participants' future work in mission.
