Laboratorio: the practice of international emergency response
A.A. 2023/2024
Obiettivi formativi
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.
