The workshop provided a platform for EU Member States to exchange information and views on their respective national approaches to optimise setups for the secondment of personnel outside the public service to civilian CSDP missions.

Making civilian CSDP more joined up is one of the core aims of the commitments set in the Civilian CSDP Compact to strengthen European civilian crisis management.

The workshop took place on 4 June 2021 and brought together 47 participants from 19 EU Member States which engaged in inspiring discussions around their frameworks of secondment for civilian CSDP missions.

Members and preferred partners of the CoE met virtually to discuss the presented CoE Priorities.

The CoE launched the CSDP Mentoring Programme for Women with a virtual kick-off event.

The general meeting took place in the form of a virtual encounter, where the CoE team presented its proposed workplan.

How to detect and break the existing barriers that hinder women from applying, being selected and deployed to EU civilian crisis management missions? How to ensure that a mission provides an inclusive and enabling work environment where everyone’s potential is recognised regardless of their gender, and harassment is not tolerated? And what is, to this end, the role of the leadership?
