Becoming a Professional Trainer
This course is designed to help the individual who is not (or at least not yet) a professional trainer. The focus is on the supervisor, manager or brand new trainer who has been asked to present or train a group of individuals; a task for which he or she has little prior experience. This on the job training can strike fear into the heart of the most skilled and experienced employee.
Soft Skills and Management Abilities in NGOs
This training provides the tools and techniques to improve your skills in a wide set of topics such as project management, team leading, handling conflicts, effective meetings, effective communications, negotiation techniques, self-management, etc. It has been designed for everyone working within an organisation having to deal with projects, colleagues, tasks priorities and goals to achieve.
Global Training on Refugees and IDPs
This training has been designed to provide answers to basic questions professionals, volunteers and scholars have when approaching refugee-related issues. We believe it is very important to understand and to have a global vision of their environment if we want to help them. We have covered a wide range of topics from building a refugee camp, common psychological and medical problems, different case studies, the causes of population and mass displacements, or globalization and forced migration.
Refugees and Repatriation, understanding the problem and the solutions
For many volunteers and professionals from NGOs and international organisations, working to ease the situation of the millions of refugees in the world implies as well understanding the solutions proposed and carried out by countries, governments and international bodies such as UNHCR to resettle the displaced populations. This course explains the repatriation policies, failures and successes from international bodies such as UNHCR and the repatriation history from the last decades having as a case study the situation in the former Yugoslavia.
Conflict Resolution, learning to deal with difficult people and situations
Since you can’t prevent conflict, the most important thing is to learn how to handle or manage it in productive ways. What is critical for resolving conflict is developing an understanding of, and a trust in, shared goals. This training teaches you several strategies for coping with conflict and dealing with people and difficult situations. Knowing when and how to use these techniques can make you a more effective leader.
