Humanitarian Action
The International Summer School will familiarize with the fascinating, but demanding field of international humanitarian action and the manifold problems associated with reducing human suffering in crisis-zones. Participants attend a simulation exercise in which they can take on the role of humanitarian actors and learn about the coordination mechanisms of international humanitarian action first-hand. On the last day a workshop will take place where experts of humanitarian organizations tell about their professional experiences.
