The second Winter Camp for election observers of the EPDE member organisations took place from 11 to 15 December 2017.

During one week, a large group of around 100 experts, observers and volunteers from Eastern and Western Europe met near Warsaw, Poland, for this major training event.

Participants could chose workshops covering a wide range of topics, including, among others, Long Term and Short Term Observation methods, Statistics as well as Campaigning and Social Media Strategy skills. During plenary sessions, key questions were discussed by the entire group.

A special feature of the event was the exchange of experience between election observers from different countries with similar challenges within the election process, as well as between experienced experts and young activists.
