Train the Trainer - Romania (3)

Description: Train the Trainer Series
Period: 22 November 2022
Location: Virtual settings

A TREIO Train the Trainer event aims to multiply the efforts of the project on national level by securing a second generation of trainers adopting the project reference training framework. The participants’ profiles for these cascading trainings referred to judges, prosecutors, and judicial bodies’ personnel supporting the work of the magistrates, with no limitations regarding their previous knowledge on EIO.

Train the Trainer - Romania (3) was organized with the support of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice and led by a TREIO Master Trainer in English. The training covered all sessions in a single day. Access to eEDES demo environment and user manual were provided to participants prior to the training, while take-home tasks on using eEDES were given to practitioners as a follow up. The TREIO Team remained at practitioners’ disposal in case of questions or concerns to the latter.

21 magistrates were selected to join the training and they all received access to training materials and eEDES access credentials. A total of 15 prosecutors took part in the sessions and received certificates for completion of the training.

Feedback was very positive highly appreciating the training as such: participants were very satisfied with the training methods used, the materials provided, and the environment/media used. Participants welcomed the introduction of eEDES, and all of the respondents considered their knowledge on the system has improved.
