The Kosovo Justice Academy in cooperation with the Council of Europe (CoE) organize Training of Trainers (ToT[1]) on the methodology of Human Rights Education of Legal Professional (HELP) aimed for future tutors of e-learning courses posted on the CoE HELP online platform.

HELP Training-of-Trainers sessions (ToTs) are one of the tools to support national training institutions (NTIs, such as Justice Academy), Bar associations (BAs) and other actors to deliver high-quality trainings to legal professionals. HELP online courses are first developed as model courses in English and are then translated and adapted to the specific national legal order and practice.

The goal of the HELP Training of Trainers is to prepare participants to fulfil the role of HELP trainers for their Justice Academy, Bar Association and other relevant institutions and to equip them with skills to successfully tutor a HELP on-line course in their respective contexts. It focuses on the HELP methodology for legal professionals and on the HELP e-learning platform.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the ToT, participants will be able to:

- Understand the HELP Programme and its mission.

- Understand the role of HELP tutors in implementing HELP courses.

- Adapt HELP courses to the national legal order, as well as to the needs of the target audience.

- Run HELP courses (usually a course consists of a face-to-face meeting and then 2-3 months of on-line course moderated by a HELP tutor).

- Make use of the HELP e-learning platform to moderate HELP courses and disseminate resources.

- Support the participants of their respective courses in using the HELP e-learning platform.

- Evaluate trainings.

After the ToT session, participants will be asked to complete a final assignment, designed to assess their skills on applying the HELP methodology and the use of the HELP e-learning platform. The successful completion of this final assignment is necessary for their certification as HELP tutors.
