People as masters of their own destiny
People who are affected by crises know best about their situation and what it takes to improve it. They only really accept the solutions that they themselves have helped to create.
There are ways of working in crisis contexts that make it possible to respect these principles. The course offers access to this way of working, which differs from many current practices.
Course content
- Basic assumptions about people living in crisis contexts
- What is human-centred crisis response? What is community-led crisis response? What is it not?
