The EODS training for the position of long term observer in EU EOM aimed at providing tools and knowledge to implement the EU long term election observation methodology.
During the course, participants were introduced to topics relevant to the work of a LTO in an EU election observation mission, with special emphasis on roles and responsibilities, international obligations, commitments and good practice related to elections, and in particular to develop capabilities related to the different activities undertaken by EU observers, including drafting weekly LTO reports in French and Spanish, and interpersonal skills.
The training combined presentations, case studies and exercises based on possible scenarios during the mission, such as meetings with different interlocutors, media, drivers or interpreters. Participants received a feedback on these exercises.
