IOI | SYT II Training in Vienna about to begin!

Following the successful first edition last year, the I.O.I. has organised a second SYT training which will be held from 5 to 8 June 2011 at the I.O.I. General Secretariat in Vienna, Austria.

This educational programme for staff members of Ombudsman institutions is based on the format "Sharpening Your Teeth" that was successfully invented by the Ontario Ombudsman in 2005. The specific I.O.I. edition will be held in English and offers a three-day training on systemic investigations. It brings together administrative watchdogs from more than 20 different countries from all over the world. Altogether, 37 participants will be briefed on principles of excellent investigative work, conducting interviews, assessing evidence, report writing and communicating with the public.

Both the I.O.I. and the City of Vienna have funded scholarships for institutions with limited resources.

For more information please consult the programme.

The General Secretariat of the I.O.I. wishes all participants a rewarding experience and a fruitful intercultural exchange of ideas!
