The main objectives of Folke Bernadotte Academy´s Education, Training and Exercise Department are to prepare staff for work in international peace operations as well as to provide advanced training aimed at strengthening the capacity of staff, already on mission, in dealing with complex crisis management. The FBA uses case studies of ongoing conflicts, academic lectures coupled with lifelike scenario based training, involving active participation and role playing, for a more interactive learning experience.

We believe that training should be as realistic as possible and take place in a multicultural and multifunctional environment. This form of training best reflects the reality in the field of international crisis management, and increases awareness and understanding between the numerous actors who operate in the field, leading to better collaboration in the operational areas.
