Laboratory:the Practice of International Emergency Response
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The main objective of the workshop is for the students to experience the practice of response to humanitarian emergencies through an experiential workshop that combines traditional training sessions and methodology and practical simulation exercises. Simulations are often used in humanitarian activities to test response plans, review procedures, identify gaps and inefficiencies, solve problems, and in general enhance the capacity of organizations and individuals to respond to emergencies in an effective, efficient and reliable manner.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to structure a comprehensive response plan, including an accurate and realistic analysis of the situation and the priorities identified therein, the actions to be taken in the respective sectors of intervention, complementarities, and synergies with other sectors, and the resources needed to best manage the response in each sector.
