NGOs and Development (taught in ITALIAN)

The program consists of an initial analysis of the history of NGOs and their role in international cooperation, both the current Italian and international scene and its future developments. We will present the specifics of the mode of action of NGOs in both the North and the South of the world, how they interact with local partners, public and private institutions, and other actors of the civil society and of cooperation. Part of the course will be devoted to the presentation of concrete examples of NGO’s activities both in North and in developing countries. As part of the lessons we will also describe the roles and professional figures in the staff of NGOs, the required profiles, training opportunities, new jobs, and job prospects in this sector, through the direct testimony of operators currently engaged in various sectors of the NGO world.
