Information Sessions

Taking place in Pretoria, South Africa, you will gain classroom and hands-on experience during four weeks of rigorous modules focused on humanitarian aid. Throughout the course, you will be able to work alongside peers from various humanitarian, emergency, and human rights organizations and learn from alumni practitioners and lecturers with worldwide experience. At the end of the information session, we will open the floor for Q&A. Please note this session will be recorded for those unable to attend. Any questions regarding the session can be sent to [email protected] and [email protected]. Thanks, and see you there!
