Training
Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Judicial General Council organize “Positive Culture” training for court administrative staff

Building a child-friendly and human rights-based justice system requires more than a strong legal framework. The attitudes, professional culture, and psychological awareness of those working within the system are equally essential.

For the past 33 years, the Hanns Seidel Foundation has been continuously cooperating with Mongolia in strengthening administrative law and promoting a human rights-based legal environment. At a time when specialized family and juvenile courts are being established in Mongolia, particular attention is being given to enhancing the knowledge and professional capacity of legal and judicial officers working in the field of child protection.

In this context, the Hanns Seidel Foundation, in cooperation with the Judicial General Council of Mongolia, successfully organized a training on “Positive Culture” for court administrative staff of the district courts handling simplified criminal and civil procedures.

The training featured Professor and psychologist Mark Stemmler from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen–Nürnberg, Germany, who shared valuable expertise on the psychological assessment of juveniles involved in criminal offenses and approaches to understanding the specific needs of children. One of the highlights of the training was an open discussion with participants on personal development, work-life balance, and fostering a positive organizational culture.

In addition, Chairperson of the Judicial General Council P.Zolzayaa, along with psychologists A.Taivanjargal and Sh.Nomin-Erdene, delivered insightful presentations and engaged in productive discussions with participants.

Strengthening child protection systems begins with investing in knowledge, understanding, and the right attitudes.
