This is a facilitator's guide for a 10 weeks online course, preparing for the humanitarian assistance responding to disaster,
trauma, and crisis.
The course website is set at http://unisociety.org.
This interdisciplinary course will explore how the world responds to disaster and trauma.
Students will look at both the basic working structure of humanitarian assistance programs and the theoretical, ethical and
legal basis for contemporary humanitarian practice.
What to expect from the course:
- How do we decide who gets assistance?
- Who provides the assistance?
- Why do we assist?
- Who evaluates the performance of the United Nations agencies, governmental and non governmental organizations
that provide relief? - How do we know when we are getting it right? What happens when we get it wrong?
