The last day of the training was focused on combining theoretical knowledge and practical skills in investigating war crimes. Particular attention was paid to such topics as interviewing victims and witnesses, where participants learned techniques for establishing psychological contact; creating a safe environment for testimony; the specifics of working with survivors of traumatic events, etc. EUAM trainers taught the participants how to analyze and systematize the evidence collected, as well as identify links between suspects, victims and the circumstances of the crimes.

In addition, considerable attention was paid to practicing practical skills. The students were trained to provide first aid to victims in combat conditions, including stopping bleeding, immobilizing the wounded, etc. They also discussed methods of safe entry into buildings during investigations and algorithms of actions in case of detection of mine threats.

The participants of the training actively discussed the challenges faced by investigators and experts in the investigation of war crimes and debated with the trainers.

Thanks to the high level of organization and professional trainers, the participants gained valuable knowledge and practical experience that will help them in their future professional activities, including in their work on human and civil rights, fast and high-quality investigation of war crimes in compliance with national legislation and European standards, and safe performance of their duties.
