Building on 10 years of course learnings
Political advisors are instrumental in the decision-making processes of peace and security. Their effectiveness is of fundamental importance both on the ground and at an international level. Their duties require them to synthesise information rapidly, to develop a comprehensive understanding of the context and key issues at hand, and to convey that understanding and analysis to their institutions at varying levels, while building and nurturing meaningful relationships.

This course builds the skill sets and networks that political advisors need to carry out their work more efficiently and effectively. Substantive inputs are followed by group work on case studies, providing valuable learning opportunities through exchange between participants – all experienced professionals – and the course leaders.

The course brings together experienced practitioners and expert speakers from the field of political advising. It includes practical sessions that all include small group application, extensive opportunities to connect and learn from one another, and a capstone event that ties all the learnings and experiences together. It is a stimulating, challenging and fun learning opportunity.
