Overview
This is a full-scale simulation course for individuals who feel they are ready for assessment, and do not need level 2 training. Put into teams and sent straight into the simulation ‘field’ as the ‘EU team’ you will experience what this sort of work entails. Teams are set objectives for the weekend and will meet with civil society representatives and local and international actors in order to achieve these objectives. You will be assigned an ‘observer’ for the weekend who will give you personal feedback and advice on further training needs and opportunities for professional development.

Who is it for?

This simulation weekend is a ‘taster’ for those interested in working for an NGO or official mission in a conflict zone. It is open to anyone with a serious interest in finding out what this kind of work involves. No prior field experience is required. A relevant academic or professional background is helpful but not essential. There will be no undue hardship or stress involved in the exercise.
