Regional and international training courses and events may engage election officials and experts from all around the world and will offer the opportunity to get together with colleagues facing the same or similar problems. External training courses where staff and members from different EMBs get together will facilitate exposure to new ideas and the exchange of good practices and current developments in election administration. Traditionally there are exchanges of good practice and detailed presentations on a variety of electoral problems and issues which are relevant to all participating countries. Regional and international seminars and workshops for electoral managers are also good training and should be encouraged by the EMB.
