Trainings on demand

We organise tailored trainings on EU influencing to respond to the needs of organisations working in the public interest across Europe.

A training for your organisation

We always start by listening. We want to understand the goals of your organisation and the needs of your team. We design a training that starts where you’re at and covers the EU institutions, decision-making processes, policy areas and skills that you are interested in.

We’ve organised generalist and thematic trainings, designed sessions focussed on learning from case-studies, and facilitated strategic workshops to help organisations design effective campaigns. We can draw from a wide network of advocates, experts and EU insiders.

Our trainings are not only about sharing knowledge and expertise. They aim at deepening your strategic insight, make space for motivation and inspiration, and provide you with practical tips and useful tools.

Is your organisation defending the public interest in an area where the EU plays an important role? We’re interested in hearing about your work and available to discuss how we can meet your training needs.

What people say about our tailored trainings

  • “The training met the needs of our participants, who are based in Amnesty's national offices in EU Member States, to improve their understanding of how to influence the EU decision-making process in EU capitals. We believe it will have a positive impact on their work and on our internal coordination and synergy"

It was an inspiring session, combining expertise with a participatory approach, which definitively triggered the enthusiasm of our members and enriched their advocacy approaches"
