Course Objectives:

Participants not only know the concept, major elements and state-of-the-art technologies of disaster risk management – with a focus on disaster risk reduction (DRR) –, they also are able to assess the context in which risk management and reduction take place and how to coordinate with different stakeholders. They know how to select vulnerable systems of interest (households, economic sectors, regions) as beneficiaries of risk management programs in a disaster risk based approach, how to identify technical means of interventions in the light of their appropriateness related to different types of climate-related disasters and how to integrate risk reduction into long-term development efforts, while taking climate change aspects into account and therefore contributing to long-term resilience of communities.

Course Content:

• Risk assessment and risk mapping both in theory and practice by using a landscape model including detailed hazard analysis and vulnerability assessment (using scoring systems).
• Means of disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness related to drought, landslide, flood and cyclone in theory and practice including sharing among participants.
• The social, economic, environmental and political context of risk management programs and how to link such programs to climate change adaptation and development.
• Different options of fostering resilience among vulnerable communities, sectors, and regions related to nature-related disasters and climate change and tools to identify essential livelihood resources (participatory climate assessment tools).
• Ecosystem-based DRR.
• Mainstreaming DRR in development cooperation and related plans, projects, and policies.
• Organizational development with a focus on DRR.

Course Methods:

The training is based in the Harvard Case Method, which supports adult learning from experience: Introduction to the topic – Group exercise with a given case – Presentation of results – Reflection on relevance to participants’ needs and future applications. This method is complemented by interactive exercises which integrate emotions and movement into sustainable learning processes and expert presentations.

What does live online training mean?

Our online trainings are not pre-recorded training videos, webinars for large audiences or self-paced e-learning courses. They are virtual live trainings delivered by our trainers in real-time, focusing on the interaction of a small group of remote participants. Just like our face-to-face
trainings, these virtual classrooms aim at tailoring the discussions and
learning experiences to the training needs of the participants.

Requirements:
to attend our live online trainings, a reliable high-speed internet
connection and a computer or laptop running Windows or iOS are required
(including audio and video). The Humboldt-Universität of Berlin uses the
videoconferencing platform Zoom(subject to change) for virtual classrooms as well as other digital tools. We strongly recommend an external headset
for better sound quality.

Target Group:

The training is designed for professionals working in international cooperation, policy advice, project formulation, or related areas. Ideally, participants already have first plans or ideas to use course content within their working context. Good command of English is mandatory.

Als entwicklungspolitische Vereine und Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen leistet ihr einen maßgeblichen Beitrag zur Bildungs- und Informationsarbeit für die 17 nachhaltigen Entwicklungsziele der Vereinten Nationen und anderen entwicklungspolitischen Themen. Viele von euch wünschen sich oftmals mehr junge Mitstreiter*innen, um eure Arbeit zukunftsfähig zu machen. Wie kann das gelingen, wenn sich junge Menschen zwar für globale Gerechtigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit interessieren, sich aber oftmals nicht in Vereinsstrukturen engagieren? Wie könnt ihr junge Menschen für euren Verein gewinnen? Welche Strategien könnt ihr nutzen, um attraktiver für junge Menschen zu werden?

Im Projekt „Engagement 2030“ haben wir ausprobiert, wie für junge Menschen spannende Engagementformen in Vereine integriert werden können und möchten die Erfahrungen weitergeben.

Im Workshop wird zunächst ein Input von Solveig Velten in das Thema einführen. Es folgen Informationen zum im Projekt verfolgten Ansatz sowie Best Practice Beispiele (einige davon findet ihr hier). Wir überlegen gemeinsam, wie ihr das in eure Vereinsarbeit einfließen lassen könnt.

Der Workshop richtet sich an alle entwicklungspolitischen Akteur*innen und Nachhaltigkeitsakteur*innen, die Interesse an der Einbindung jüngerer Mitstreiter*innen haben.

Anmeldung mit Angabe von Name und Organisation bis Do, 2.9.2021 an anna-maria.schuttkowski @ finep.org

Zielgruppe: schwarze Deutsche, Migrant*innen, People of Color, People of African Descend (PAD) in
der Entwicklungspolitik

Trainer*innen: Clementine Burnley und Austen P. Brandt (Phoenix e.V.)

Die Entwicklungspolitik verändert sich: Im Bewusstsein für ihre kolonialen Wurzeln werden auch ihre Inhalte rassismus- und machtkritischer. Aber auch die Menschen, die sich entwicklungspolitisch engagieren, werden vielfältiger. Und trotz aller Reflexion machen entwicklungspolitisch Aktive, deren persönliche Biografien z.B. nach Afrika, Asien oder Lateinamerika zurückweisen, in entwicklungspolitischen Strukturen rassistische Erfahrungen. Diese Erfahrungen hemmen das entwicklungspolitische Engagement für mehr globale Gerechtigkeit, sei es in Berlin, in Deutschland oder im Herkunftsland. Sie können Bündnisse, in denen Menschen mit und ohne Rassismuserfahrungen zusammenarbeiten, zerstören.

Der BER und Phoenix e.V. laden entwicklungspolitisch aktive Menschen mit Rassismuserfahrungen zu einem Empowerment-Training ein: Wie können wir uns trotz dieser tagtäglichen Wirklichkeit des Rassismus entwicklungspolitisch engagieren, wie können wir unsere eigenen persönlichen Ziele verfolgen und was können wir tun, um Rassismus zu verringern? Phoenix arbeitet mit verschiedenen Medien und Methoden, u.a. Einzel- und Gruppengespräch. 

Die Trainer*innen sind Clementine Burnley und Austen P. Brandt von Phoenix e.V.: https://www.phoenix-ev.org/schwarzes-bewusstseins-training.html

Der BER bietet seit 2009 Anti-Rassismus-Trainings für weiß positionierte Menschen an und dieses Jahr  zum ersten Mal ein Empowerment-Training für schwarze Deutsche, Migrant*innen, People of Color und People of African Descend (PAD) in der Entwicklungspolitik.

Anmeldung: projekt@eineweltstadt.berlin

Das Training findet digital statt und ist kostenlos. Die Teilnehmer*innenzahl ist begrenzt.

What does live online training mean?

Our online trainings are not pre-recorded training videos, webinars for large audiences or self-paced e-learning courses. They are virtual live trainings
delivered by our trainers in real-time, focusing on the interaction of a
small group of remote participants. Just like our face-to-face
trainings, these virtual classrooms aim at tailoring the discussions and
learning experiences to the training needs of the participants.

Requirements:
to attend our live online trainings, a reliable high-speed internet
connection and a computer or laptop running Windows or iOS are required
(including audio and video). The Humboldt-Universität of Berlin uses the
videoconferencing platform Zoom (subject to change) for virtual
classrooms as well as digital tools. We strongly
recommend an external headset for better sound quality.

Course Methods

One of the major challenges of Project Management is interdisciplinary
teamwork. The course supports participants to become familiar with
working in interdisciplinary multicultural groups. The training course
fosters learning from experience by giving brief trainer inputs followed
by the practice of the use of relevant tools, interactive exercises,
discussion and reflection.

The virtual classroom sessions with
the trainers and the fellow participants via Zoom (subject to change)
are complemented by group exercises, assignments as well as time for
self-study and reflection.

Target Group

Professionals
in the field of international cooperation and development. A good

experience: ‚Learning by doing for impact‘ is the most important aspect of
SLE’s training philosophy. Our participants come from all around the globe:
they include staff from development agencies, national and international NGOs,
public institutions, university students and researchers as well as
professionals from the private sector. This unique mix of different cultural
backgrounds and professions enables a transdisciplinary exchange of experiences
within an intercultural learning environment.

Conflict management and conflict transformation are core issues of
development work. Development projects are not only affected by
conflict, but also run the risk of aggravating existing conflicts in a
particular region or even triggering new conflicts.

This training course gives a sound understanding of the phenomenon of conflict, which we will explore on the personal and interpersonal level, as well as on the level of large groups and societies.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course participants will be familiar with the principles
of conflict management and conflict transformation. They will have
substantially broadened their horizon on the issue of conflict and
applied tools to understand its mechanisms and work with it in a
non-violent way.

 Course Content

• Basic terms and concepts
• Methods of peace and conflict analysis
• Approaches to conflict transformation
• Facilitation and mediation processes and skills
• Analysis and Diagnostics of Conflict Dynamics
• The Basic Elements of Alternative Dispute Resolution
• Personal Conflict Management
• Actor Analysis and Mapping Techniques
• Strategic Planning of Peace-Building Activities
• Theory and Practice of Conflict Sensitivity
• Approaches on “Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment”

Course Programme

The focus on the first day will be on conflict, the next two days the focus will be on coping conflict by yourself and facilitating a conflict by a third party or a mediator. Day 4 and 5 will deal intensively with constructive conflict transformation, analysing the conflicting situation and developing strategies for a change.

Geschichte prägt unsere Gegenwart. Die Spuren des Kolonialismus lassen sich in aktuellen Themen wie globale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, soziale Ungleichheit und Migration aufspüren. In dieser Fortbildung gehen wir diesen Fragen nach: Wie wirkt sich Kolonialismus auf die Welt heute aus? Was hat das mit uns zu tun? Wie können wir mit kolonialen Kontinuitäten umgehen? Wir probieren vielfältige Methoden für den Unterricht aus, stellen leicht einsetzbare Materialien und zielgruppengerechte Zugänge vor.

Developing countries, emerging economies, and investment banks are investing billions in durable infrastructure every year. However, they often fail to take account of future climate change in their planning. As a result, new infrastructure projects (e.g. from the agriculture, transportation, or energy sector) are being implemented without consideration of climate change risks. This leads to high potential for damage, loss and misguided investment with potentially serious consequences for the economy and society. For this reason, infrastructure adapted to the impacts of climate change is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. From this starting point, this training aims to instruct participants in how to take climate-related risks into consideration, when planning investments into infrastructure.

Course Objectives

The overall objective of the training course is to provide participants with a sound knowledge on how to assess and reduce climate-related risks for infrastructure
investments. This training focuses on methodological aspects of climate proofing and participants will learn via a case study about the infrastructure investment process, existing tools to assess climate risks, and about options to integrate climate change adaptation in infrastructure projects. At the end of the course, participants will be able to analyse infrastructure projects with regard to climate change risks, threats, and opportunities.

Course Content

• Identification of entry points for climate risk reduction within the infrastructure investment process
• Performance of a risk assessment to identify underlying reasons for climate risk within your infrastructure investment
• Identification of adaptation and mitigation options and entry
  points in infrastructure projects, incl. mainstreaming of identified
  climate change response options
• Simple cost-benefit analyses in the context of climate change response options for infrastructure investments

Course Methods

The training is based on the Harvard Case Method, which supports adult learning from experience: Introduction to the topic – Group exercise with a given case – Presentation of results – Reflection on relevance to participants’ needs and future applications. This method is complemented by interactive exercises which integrate emotions and movement into sustainable learning processes.
