SSR has emerged as a major topic in international crisis management and post-crisis recovery during the past decade. The focus of the ESDC Core Course on SSR is a comprehensive understanding of security as ‘human security’, bringing the physical, social and economic needs and rights of individuals and populations to the centre of attention and action.
Accordingly, the course includes a comprehensive and holistic overview of the concepts, strategies and stakeholders of SSR processes. The 28 participants from 21 countries, who are working in various contexts such as complex emergencies or peace missions and include experts from police, military and civilian specialisations, gained a deep understanding of the subject matter. Lecturers included experts from the EU, the UN, the OSCE and NATO, among others.
The participants enjoyed the selected content, the composition of the course group and the opportunity to exchange knowledge and views with other professionals from different institutional, geographical and cultural backgrounds.
