CMC FinlandTRAINING CALENDAR 2010

Dear reader,

Our civilian crisis management training courses provide civilian experts with necessary skills to operate effectively in the fi eld. The courses enhance both the knowledge and the skills of civilian crisis management. The programme components cover a variety of themes such as, cross-cultural awareness, familiarisation with various actors and organisations, project management, knowledge of human rights and security training.

In crisis management training, the recognition of real training needs is a perpetual challenge. Our trainings aim at maximum conformity with the training requirement of the EU, UN and OSCE. The trainees are experts in their respective fi elds and thus training should focus only on those skills needed in the missions. The understanding of mission environment and the nature of comprehensiveness in crisis management is a challenge that needs to be assessed throughout the planning process of each training event.

Our courses are tailored to meet the training needs and to simulate mission environment. Bringing different experts to the same learning environment is one way of simulating the reality in the fi eld. Participants are invited to courses from all fi elds of expertise needed in crises management missions. This includes experts from the fi elds of civilian administration, police, customs, rule of law, human rights, logistics, human resources etc.

The adaptation of the human security concept is one of the cross-cutting themes in our courses. Human security focuses more on the safety of people and communities rather than the traditional notion of security which focuses on the security of states in regards military threats. This approach brings a moral philosophical aspect to training. All training emphasise understanding of other actors and the local ownership. Human security principles are operationalised through mapping exercises, role plays and group exercises.

We pay a lot attention to relevant training methodologies in our trainings. CMC Finland has examined and endeavoured to implement other new methodologies without prejudice. Moodle-based learning management system will be utilised in most of our courses and different experimentations, such as dynamic “Greyzone-scenario” has been designed to simulate the mission environment. The scenario is closely associated with the fi eld training exercise where trainees will face various realistic crisis management situations. Experimentation, innovation and improvisation are evidence of a real learning organisation.

We welcome you to our training activities in 2010

BASIC TRAININGS The EU Concept Core Course or European Union Police Offi cer Courses are an

essential pre-requisite for anyone being deployed to a fi eld mission.

There is an ongoing need to run these courses on a regular basis, in order to build up the

pool of people available for future missions. The added value of the basic courses is to prepare

participants for the kind of multicultural working environment they will face on a mission.

These courses will provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills required on an

international peace mission, independent of the specifi c function they will fulfi l as experts in

their own fi elds. The course modules are designed so as to enhance desirable personal attitudes,

stress the importance of active involvement of a host society, and promote a refl ective and critical

approach to the complex issues of civilian crisis prevention and management. These are skills that

will be practiced in direct interaction with people when implementing concrete projects in the

fi eld. Participants will also be provided with an overall picture of the different specifi c functional

tasks needed in a mission and how they are interrelated, which shall demonstrate the need for

coherence.

In addition, this course will contribute to the creation of a similar management culture among

future mission members, and a sense of common identity and purpose for EU mission support.

The course combines lectures, seminars, case studies, discussions in smaller groups, and extensive

fi eld training exercise with various simulations.

The selection of the course participants will be done in close cooperation with the CMC Finland’s

recruitment personnel. The applicants must:

- be ready and willing to participate in the civilian crisis management missions within one year

from the course

- have an educational and professional background suitable for civilian crisis management missions

- have relevant working experience of three years

- have a working knowledge of English;

- have a valid driving licence (category B);

- be physically and mentally in good health.

In addition to these police offi cers must have working experience in police at least of eight years

SPECIALISED TRAINING Specialisation courses enable civilian experts in a particular

fi eld to understand how their expertise will

need to be adapted for use in a post-confl ict environment and the special considerations that

may apply to their particular area of work. In this way, experts in human rights, democratisation,

rule of law, DDR, media development or civil administration are able to focus on the concerns

relating to their area of expertise and most have found this of particular benefi t in preparing

themselves for a mission.

In addition to suitable profession personnel applying to specialisation courses should have

completed their basic courses or have mission experience from the civilian crisis management

missions. We also expect from the Finnish participants willingness to apply to missions in the

near future. Personnel already serving in the missions are encouraged to apply for specialisation

courses and thus deepen their understanding in their respective fi elds of expertise.

CMC Finland also sends personnel to equal trainings abroad.

Train the Trainers: Applying Human Security in Peacebuilding18–20 May 2010, Kuopio, Finland

TARGET GROUP The course is aimed at experts working in peacebuilding operations, international, regional or non-governmental organisations in Africa.

COURSE CONTENT Promotion of human security – security of the people – is an essential aspect in planning and implementing a peacebuilding operation or a project in a confl ict or post-confl ict country. The evaluation of the impact of the activities from a human security perspective is equally important. The overall objective of the course is therefore to provide the participants with both theoretical and practical knowledge of how to incorporate human security thinking into a peacebuilding operation or project. The course starts with a thorough discussion on the concept of human security and its relevance both as an aim and a tool in peacebuilding; a review of the history of the concept and its relationship to other similar concepts such as human development and human rights. It also presents a practical framework for how to promote human security in various phases of an operation or a project. Within the framework, theoretical knowledge is tested through several exercises focusing on a case study from Africa.

Integrated Border Management Training 29 August – 3 September 2010, Imatra, Finland

As a result of confl ict, borders management has often suffered greatly and needs strengthening, in order to effectively be able to provide security. In other cases, like in the former Yugoslav states, new international borders have been drawn, meaning that border management needs to be created altogether. Among EU operations there are some that are specifi cally border operations, whereas others include border elements among a broader Security or Rule of Law based mandate. CMC Finland has designed the Integrated Border Management training to meet the need and to ensure these operations and tasks are manned by trained international staff.

TARGET GROUP Border Guard, Border Police and Customs offi cials as well as other personnel working with border related issues in peacebuilding, civilian crisis management and capacity building operations. Personnel working for NGOs and other organisations dealing with issues such as human traffi cking are also encouraged to apply.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES The main aim of the course is to prepare experts with border related knowhow for working in the EU, the OSCE and UN, by promoting knowledge and most common skills needed in fi eld operations.

The course aims on one hand at enhancing the understanding of the Integrated Border Management concept. On the other hand it will take a closer look at working methods typically used in fi eld operations.

COURSE CONTENT The course will answer the following questions:

• What is meant by Integrated Border Management and why is it needed? • What is meant by monitoring, mentoring and advising and how to do it? • How to write a good report? Who benefi ts from the reports? • How to analyse a given situation in order to know

what, why and how to improve it? • How to draft proposals in and for a cultural

setting different than one’s own? • How to negotiate effectively when communicating through an interpreter? LEARNING Central learning methods are role play (e.g monitoring and METHODOLOGY negotiating), and the production of written documents (e.g. weekly

report and project proposal) as a group. Presentations and discussions are aimed at supporting the groups in understanding strengths and weaknesses in the conducting of the above mentioned tasks.

Integrated Crisis Management III27 September – 1 October 2010, Tuusula , Finland

TARGET GROUP Both civilian and military senior level experts with previous or current experience from civilian and/or military crisis management and peace building missions preferably from sub-Saharan Africa, but also elsewhere. In addition experts with international work experience concerning gender, human rights, child protection, project management and humanitarian aid are encouraged to apply as prospective experts to future civilian crisis management missions.

OVERALL AIM The overall aim of the course is two-folded: 1) to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the

comprehensive crisis management approach and 2) to enhance collaboration, coordination and coherence among

the different actors, namely military, civilian crisis management, humanitarian and development aid actors in a crisis/confl ict area

COURSE CONTENT The course will answer questions such as:

• What are the differences between concepts and terminology concerning integrated and comprehensive crisis management by UN, EU, NATO, AU?

• What is the framework and different time phases of comprehensive crisis management?

• What are the different roles, concepts and framework of operations used by the different actors in a crisis/confl ict area?

• How and why should we take into consideration the local context (culture, gender issues, human security etc.) when working in a crisis mission?

• What are the synergies and entry points for co-operation among different actors in order to reduce over-lapping and to increase effectiveness and sustainability on a crisis/confl ict area?

• How can collaborate with multiple local and international actors be improved?

• What is the current state and future trends of EU and AU comprehensive crisis management?

LEARNING Central learning methods are presentations, METHODOLOGY group work role plays and case studies.

Civilian Response Team (CRT) Refresher Workshop9-11 November 2010, Kuopio, Finland

The continuous development of civilian ESDP requires fl exible and rapidly deployable capabilities as CRTs also in the future. Re-vitalisation of the CRT-concept is being made in order to ensure that CRT corresponds well to ESDP needs. Human resource development in this regard requires both effective recruitment and training. Moreover, maintaining the commitment of the present CRT-pool is of utmost importance for enhanced use of CRT-experts.

TARGET GROUP This workshop is fi rst and foremost targeting those pool members who are foreseen to be in charge of Mission Build-up functions. Nevertheless, as it is seen benefi cial that all CRT staff has a good understanding of each others’ task, it is also open for all CRT pool members as well as to national focal points.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES The main aim of the course is to make certain that individuals listed and trained as CRT pool members are still available and have fresh knowledge needed in case of rapid deployment. The refresher also seeks to actively support the continuous networking of CRT members.

The overall objective is to provide CRT members practical tools and an opportunity to practice skills required when setting up a new mission.

LEARNING Learning methodologies are foremost discussions in small METHODOLOGY groups, individual drafting, as well as role play

supported by a few presentations.

Gender Training09–11 February 2010 Kuopio, Finland

Why is it not enough to speak about human rights? Do we really need gender or is talking about gender merely an attempt to be politically correct?

Ever since the adoption of the UNSCR 1325 in 2000, gender issues have gained an increasingly important role in crisis management.

Finland promotes its own national action plan in regards to the implementation of UNSCR 1325 for 2008-2011. One explicit aim is to insure that all its seconded personnel has the necessary knowledge, competence and skills to consider gender issues in every level of their work in a crisis management operation. The CMC Gender Training is thus part of this bigger picture and a link in the achievement of the goals of UNSCR 1325.

SPECIALISED TRAINING PROGRAMMESAdvanced Police-Prosecutor Coordination Training Programme

BACKGROUND The Government of Afghanistan made a request to the Government of Finland to fund a pilot phase of the Advanced Police-Prosecutor Coordination Training Programme in 2009-2011. Crisis Management Centre Finland (CMC Finland) is the designated implementing agency of the Training Programme on behalf of the Government of Finland. In conjunction with the Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI) and the Attorney General’s Offi ce (AGO), CMC Finland co-operates with EUPOL Afghanistan (EUPOL AFG) in the implementation of the Training Programme.

The objective of the Training Programme is to enhance police-prosecutor coordination in Afghanistan. There is a recognised gap in current Rule of Law training programs in terms of advanced, broadly based Police - Prosecutor Coordination training. This programme aims to remedy this gap by bringing together a group of senior Afghan police offi cers and prosecutors to examine and assess current coordination practices together with the Finnish and EUPOL AFG police and prosecution experts. The Training Programme takes place both in Afghanistan and Finland.

The main objective of the training modules organised in Finland is to familiarise the participants with the practises and procedures of the Finnish Police-Prosecutor coordination in order to provide incentives and tools to enhance the coordination procedures and practises in pre-trial investigations in Afghanistan. Enhanced coordination between the Police and Prosecutors in pre-trial criminal investigation will, by promoting fairness and success in pre-trial investigations, enhance serving of justice, including human rights, for all the Afghans.

One of the main products of the Training Programme is an Afghan Police-Prosecutor

Coordination Manual, which will be drafted by the participants. Together with the adjoining training manual this Manual will, once introduced and approved, strengthen the Police-Prosecutor coordination practices in Afghanistan. It will also provide police-prosecutor coordination mentors with a handbook for mentoring. Likewise, the Manual can be used as a study material in the Afghan MoI and AGO training institutions as well as in University law faculties.

TRAINING PARTICIPANTS There are 20 participants in the programme from the Afghan MoI and AGO. In addition, there are participants from the Supreme Court of Afghanistan, Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Afghanistan Independent Bar Association (AIBA) bringing the total number of participants to 23 in the pilot phase of the training programme.

THE FINNISH CENTRE OF EXPERTISE IN COMPREHENSIVE CRISIS MANAGEMENT

The Finnish Centre of Expertise in Comprehensive Crisis

Management was founded jointly by the Finnish

Defence Forces International Centre (FINCENT) and the Crisis Management Centre Finland

(CMC Finland) in November 2008. The core task of the Finnish Centre of Expertise is to promote

understanding of the coordination, as well as comprehensiveness, of crisis management in the

context of national crisis management capacity building and preparedness, as well as crisis

management and peacebuilding missions. In addition, the Centre of Expertise aims to create a

clear framework for already existing co-operation between FINCENT and CMC Finland Training

projects

The Finnish Centre of Expertise is based on the so called shared campus -principle between

FINCENT and CMC Finland, both of whom continue functioning as independent governmental

institutions. Consequently, this Finnish Centre of Expertise in Comprehensive Crisis Management

aims at developing common and joint training in crisis management, in addition to its other tasks,

which include research, publishing and seminar activities.

More information on the trainings is available at FINCENT and CMC Finland websites.

Crises, Confl icts and Development − Multifaceted Perspectives to Security11-12 February 2010, University of Helsinki, Finland

The conference is organized by the Finnish Society for Development Research in association with Crisis Management Centre Finland (CMC Finland), Finnish University Network for International Development (UniPID) and Institute of Development Studies (University of Helsinki).

At the outset of the new millennium, security has become a catchword in a wide range of contexts: international politics, immigration policies, development and humanitarian interventions, crisis management and peace building, fi nancial markets and environmental crises. Security – as a normative ideal – is inherently a multifaceted concept that is used not only as a tool for explanation and analysis but, at times, as a legitimization for different forms of interventionism, policy-making and concrete practices in various parts of the world. Both the content and the scope of security remain largely undetermined and, undoubtedly, will continue to be so. It is a timely task to critically explore the multiple dimensions of security as we understand and, at times, promote it – particularly in the global South.

The general aim is to bring together researchers to unveil and debate the interconnected dimensions of security and, respectively, confl ict – be they economic, environmental, political, social or military crises. The much spoken-of interdependence between development and security shall itself be placed under careful scrutiny.

The conference is in English.
