EUTI Training – Call for Applications: ToT for Human Rights Advisors

EUTI Training – Call for Applications: ToT for Human Rights Advisors

The Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, under the auspices of EUTI – European Union Training Initiative, will hold Training of Trainers for Human Right Advisors (HRA): Mainstreaming Human Rights into Civilian Crisis Management Missions’ Internal and External Activities: using a HRBA approach.

The call for applications is now open.

Training dates: 23–25 March 2026

Training location: Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa, Italy

Target Group: Human Rights Advisors of civilian CSDP crisis missions and human rights support elements at HQs

This training initiative directly supports the implementation of the 2021 Civilian Operations Commander Operational Guidelines on Human Rights Mainstreaming and Human Rights Due Diligence. While substantial progress has been made in policy development, a significant gap remains in the practical application of these standards within Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) civilian missions. To bridge this gap, this course equips Human Rights Advisors (HRAs) with the didactical and methodological skills necessary to train their colleagues and foster a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) across all mission mandates.

The key objective of this course is thus to contribute to building in-mission capacities for training purposes in the field of human rights mainstreaming. It will also enhance the ability of missions to adapt to the steadily changing capacity-building requirements and strengthen in-mission capability to deliver high quality trainings in the area of HRBA and human rights mainstreaming.

The curriculum of the training will move beyond theoretical definitions, focusing on the HOW of human rights mainstreaming. Participants will engage in practical exercises—including situational analysis, elaborating Theories of Change, and designing monitoring frameworks—all viewed through a human rights lens.

The training of trainers course will be targeted at human rights Advisors working in civilian CSDP missions – who, inter alia, conduct trainings and coaching sessions on issues related to human rights as subject matter experts or trainers and are called upon, in the Operational Guidelines on Human Rights Mainstreaming and Human Rights Due Diligence, to play a catalyst role to ensure internal and external human rights mainstreaming within the mission of assignment.

 Applications for the Training of Trainers for Human Rights Advisors are now open. Deadline is 22 February 2026.

Training on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management in Ukraine

Training on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management in Ukraine

At the beginning of February, POTC will travel to Ukraine to deliver two additional training activities on climate change and disaster risk management.

Kliknite tukaj za branje članka v slovenskem jeziku.

The two training sessions, attended by experts from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU), will take place from 9–11 February and 12–14 February 2026. The training represents a further adaptation of the programme with the same title that POTC previously delivered for Ukrainian civil protection in May 2025 in Poland. Consecutive interpretation into Ukrainian will be provided.

The main objective of the training is to familiarise participants with an integrated, all-hazards approach to managing risks related to natural and other disasters, particularly in light of increasingly complex and evolving emergencies. The training focuses on potential mitigation measures to strengthen prevention and preparedness, while taking local specificities into account.

The programme includes lectures on new types of climate-induced natural disasters and enhancing disaster preparedness (including within the framework of the Sendai Framework), EU crisis coordination mechanisms and the new Union Preparedness Strategy, monitoring, data collection and mapping, early warning systems, and hazard risk assessment methodologies. The third and final day of the training includes a practical, simulation-based exercise.
