The Division for Cooperation on Freedom of Expression has developed a range of training programmes designed to strengthen knowledge and capacities of judges, prosecutors, legal professionals, police staff, journalists and media actors, and public servants from relevant public authorities, in key areas: Countering the use of SLAPPs, Safety of Journalists, and Access to Information in the context of Freedom of Expression .

These programmes are available to download below, and are meant to be adapted to the specific needs and contexts of the countries where they are implemented.

We encourage partners and stakeholders to make full use of these resources.

To ensure quality and coherence, three simple conditions must be respected:

• The Council of Europe should be informed of their use.
• Copyright should be respected, with acknowledgement that this is a Council of Europe programme.
• Certified trainers should be involved in their delivery.

By following these principles, you will help us maintain the highest standards while ensuring that the programmes have the greatest possible impact.
