The Global Centre utilizes trainings, workshops and formal briefings on country situations to build the capacity of others to identify, confront and mobilize appropriate response to the risk of atrocity crimes. These courses and briefings enable policy makers, foreign service members, peacekeepers and other practitioners to improve their situational awareness and understand the context in which they are operating or the crises they are confronting through an atrocity prevention lens. The Global Centre has also designed and delivered courses for civil society around the world that helps them bridge the gap between their existing local, on the ground advocacy and outreach with multilateral decision makers.

Over the years the Global Centre has offered a variety of different trainings, workshops and briefings that have greatly expanded the cohort of people who have the capacity to understand the atrocity prevention lens and the unique tools available to them, in their individual roles, to respond.
