Capacity building

We offer advanced policy skills and thematic capacity building workshops for current and future professionals in international affairs.

Our trainings are short and intensive, designed for time-starved professionals wanting to keep up with the latest in international affairs, technology and communications. They are also designed for early career professionals wanting to add practical skills and current affairs to theoretical foundations they gain in higher education.

Our trainings are hands on. Participants put what they learn into practice immediately through tailor-made, tried and tested exercises.

Participants who successfully complete workshops receive a certificate of participation.
