Gender equality and gender mainstreaming in peace operations and missions

 

Peacekeeping Operations Training Centre that is operating within CEP is happy to announce its first training dedicated to an important cross-cutting topic that was identified as a need by all three founding ministries – Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia – Gender equality and gender mainstreaming in peace operations and missions. Training is primarily organized as an opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1325 United Nations Security Council Resolution on Women, Peace and Security and 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration that was adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995.

Pilot POTC training will be organized for experts who want to join international peace operation or mission, primarily for public servants from ministries of defence, internal and foreign affairs. Training is currently planned to be organized in a hybrid manner – with some participants and trainers present at POTC premises, while others will be welcome to join training digitally. Some trainers from abroad will join us digitally as well. All measures and suggestions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 will be strictly respected.

Training on Gender equality and gender mainstreaming in peace operations and missions will be organized on 24 – 25 November 2020 and will conclude on 26 November with the regional expert meeting. The main objective of the meeting is to share best practices and to hear how 13 countries in the region are implementing the principles of the UN SC 1325 resolution and Beijing declaration into their defence policies.

 

Anyone interested in the training is welcome to join the training online.

Centre for European Perspective is together with Center for Communication, Hearing and Speech, Portorož,  and Association for human rights and social inclusion Soci (Udruženje za ljudska prava I socialnu inkluziju – SOCI), Bosnia and Herzegovina, organising a three day training titled “Learning Compass – teacher training for work with children with disabilities”.

This training edition will start with a three-day workshop between November 4th and November 6th where three Slovenian experts will be holding lectures and interactive workshops on teacher training for work with children with disabilities and cooperate with their collegues from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The activities will be concluded with a digital informative session for stakeholders, held in the following weeks.

The activities are based on a wider cooperation in the field of pedagogical work and teaching practices focusing on children with disabilities and special needs, achieved through the sharing of knowledge, experience and best practices among teachers. The project brings together experts and trainers from Slovenia with their colleagues in Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Kosovo and North Macedonia who jointly strive to tackle the challenge of their every day work, to secure an educational process that is engaging, adjustable to the learning styles of each child and gives an equal learning opportunity to every individual.

The challenging new environment of the COVID-19 epidemic has also unveiled additional challenges educational systems worldwide needed to adjust to, from technical aspects of virtual school work to social and psychological components pupils are effected by, and that have widened the gap of equal learning opportunities even further. The project program addresses these challenges through various perspectives, from thematic activities to the overall training format, that will be implemented in an online fashion (virtual classroom).

Project is part of CEP’s program activities financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia in the framework of Slovenia’s Development Cooperation.

COVID-19 remains top priority for governments worldwide. What does this mean for climate change?

In November 2021 the UK will host COP26, in partnership with Italy. It will be the most important international climate change meeting since the Paris Agreement of 2015, and pivotal in ensuring action to limit the impact of climate change and avoiding global catastrophe. An ambitious outcome from international negotiations – including challenging commitments from all participants – will be crucial.

But has the world taken its eye off the climate change ball during the response to COVID-19?

 

On 9 November 2020 the British Embassy in Ljubljana, Centre for European Perspective and Bled Strategic Forum invite you to join leading UK and Slovenian climate change and political experts to discuss the most important of questions – what can government, academia, civil society and the public really do about climate change? What are the threats and opportunities that COVID presents to our climate change action? And just how important is a successful COP 26?

PARTICIPANTS:
  • Archie Young (UK Lead Climate Negotiator for COP26)
  • Tina Kobilšek (Ministry for the Environment & Spatial Planning)
  • Dr Lučka Kajfež Bogataj (Climatologist and Professor at Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana)
  • Sir Brian Hoskins (Chair of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment, Imperial College London)
  • Moderator: Ladeja Godina Košir (Founder and Executive Director, Circular Change)

After a series of demanding steps over the past two years, carried out with Slovenian support, from analysis of the situation, various forms of exchange of knowledge and experience, to development work and optimization, in the coming week in Serbia, from 27 to 30 October 2020, handover of the developed information technology for patrol management will be held. Prior to the handover, a test workshop and counselling for the use of equipment and knowledge will take place in Vranje, which will enable better management of patrols. In this way, with the help of Slovenia, Serbia is trying to improve the response of police patrols to the needs of the people, the coordination of police work in the field, including the response to migration, and the protection of police officers in performing police duties.


The project is part of program activities carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior / Police of the Republic of Slovenia and CVS Mobile and is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia from funds for international development cooperation.
