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 for virtual classrooms as well as
digital tools such as Moodle. 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.

Trainer:

Martin Becher works as an enthusiastic trainer and consultant in the field of disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe. He is a geographer by training and passionate for his main goal: to change training participants’ views regarding hands-on possibilities to consider disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change in daily routines, enabling them to make successful use of training content when going back to their home countries.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course
participants will have a good knowledge of the principles of project
management in development projects. They will have practised its

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
command of the English language is a prerequisite.

Our short intensive courses promote learning through
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.
