Global Campus of Human Rights: Open Call for International Electoral Observers
Since 2012, the Global Campus of Human Rights has trained more than 550 short term observers through its onsite courses in Venice Lido. A new edition of the course will take place from 7 – 11 October 2024 with daily live sessions that offer selected participants skills and tools to become trained electoral observers.
By taking this course, participants can expect to:
- gain a comprehensive overview on the history of electoral observation
- acquire thorough knowledge of international legal standards, observation methodology, missions functioning (short term observation) and media monitoring
- develop theoretical and practical skills which will be an asset in case of further applications as international observers
- apply as qualified short term observer (STO) in any election observation missions.
The course is an instructor-led training tutored by election observation experts, whose knowledge and skills will guide each participant throughout the course. The course is hosted on a LMS online platform, and it includes virtual sessions held on Zoom. Participants are expected to engage in approximately 25-30 hours of active learning through individual study and readings, quizzes, participation in live online sessions, debates and group work on assigned case studies.
The Global Campus of Human Rights reserves the right to select participants based on their academic and professional profile. To apply, click here. Self-funded applications are open until 30 September 2024.
