The course is strongly praxis based and consists of workshops, lectures, group work, interactive roleplay and simulations based on real cases.

The course will furnish participants with the latest theoretical and practical perspectives on displacement, aid prioritisation, local responses to disaster-affected populations, medical approaches, epidemics, relief to recovery transitions, and relations between displaced and host nations.

Knowledge of humanitarian intervention and responses to forced displacement (wars, natural disasters, disease outbreaks) is among the most sought-after expertise in the United Nations and global humanitarian organisations, helping towards smooth transitions between displaced and host communities.
