PRESENTATION
In development contexts, external factors often add fragilities to the general situation of the country, causing a further shock that undermines the country's growth process.
- How do you approach, from a project design perspective, the restoring pre-shock conditions?
- How do I increase the "resilience" of fragile communities in the face of such shocks?
- How can I operate in accordance with humanitarian principles without jeopardizing the future activity of my organization?
The course balances theoretical aspects of tools and manuals to be used in emergencies, of emergency "rules", through individual and/or group exercises to test our ability to deal with humanitarian situations. Several case studies will be used to analyze different emergency situations and learn how to find the most suitable solutions according to the context.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING SESSION: the emergency worker
Connecting this course to practice is a priority for us! VIS Advanced Training School, in order to create a link between training and jobs, offers participants the opportunity to request an individual coaching session with the teacher in order to receive professional guidance, share questions and doubts on how to approach such a specific career. Individual sessions on zoom will be scheduled on a voluntary basis, starting immediately after the training period.
