Upcoming course(s):

This short introductory course provides a glimpse into the field of civilian 'conflict work': What is it? Who does it? What do you need to be able to do it? How do you get into it? As well as trying to answer these questions, the course will give participants the opportunity to explore more deeply whether this kind of work is something they may want to go into at some point in their lives. This course will help you understand what is involved in conflict work and whether this is for you.

Who is it for?

This course is primarily geared to those who are curious about what conflict work entails and would like to get a better idea of whether it might be something they would want to pursue, as a future career, a change of direction, or just to sample it at some point in their life.
