Pre-Deployment Training Course
Multi-Mission Pre-Deployment Course201
27 June 2011 - 30 June 2011
Kuopio, Finland
The four day intensive pre-deployment training course is for experts selected to be deployed to missions in the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan. The course aims at fostering a common level of knowledge, and at creating similar expectations among experts being deployed to the areas. The course also aims at giving practical tools to the participants e.g. in the context of monitoring and advising their local counterparts.
One part of the training will be generic with all experts being deployed to the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan participating. During the second part of the course the participants will split according to the geographical location of their deployment, i.e. Palestinian Territories or Afghanistan. In this part the focus will be on the specific activities of international organisations in these areas and the knowledge and skills needed to successfully implement the mandates of the missions.
This will be achieved specifically by building a common understanding among the future mission members of:
- The EU Crisis Management System and EU actions in the region
- EU missions in the area, their structure, components and methods of work
- Other international actors in the region and their mandate, coordination mechanisms
- Palestinian/Afghan history and distinctive political and cultural features
- Practical field related issues and skills
By focusing on the tasks oft he missions in the region the course aims to equip the trainees with the essential knowledge and information necessary to be active mission and team members and to operate smoothly in the respective area of assignment.
