There were also several staff members from the Victorian Electoral Commission and three representatives from UNDP Jakarta.

An observation by one of the participants:

The BRIDGE Introductory course that I attended recently was an eye-opener to how the breadth of circumstances around the world affects the best fit for democratic and electoral processes in different regions. A further highlight was the opportunity to get to know people from other organisations, to share ideas and learn from each other. The course was well-organised, with plenty of variety in the strategies used to present the various modules and actively involve participants. I only recently became aware of BRIDGE, but would love to be involved again in future and am recommending it to others at the VEC.
