Date: (25-11-2022)
In the period 21-25 November 2022, a hybrid (residential and online) iteration of the Crisis Management and Disaster Response Exercise Planners Training Course was conducted by the CMDR COE. This year the CMDR COE accommodated 23 participants from nine countries. They got together in the Centre's premises and its Virtual Studio. The aim was the acquisition of knowledge that would help to upgrade the needed skills for planning and conducting crisis management and disaster response exercises.
In fact, this course is unique in NATO because it builds fundamental knowledge on the NATO Exercise Planning Process at strategic and operational levels with a special focus on the Crisis Management and Disaster Response, as well as incorporating in its program the best practices from the Humanitarian Assistance domain.
