Coordinated Humanitarian Response, Health and Displacement

Deadline not listed

The EMJM on Coordinated Humanitarian Response, Health and Displacement (HumanResponse) aims to provide a unique multidisciplinary program, uniting European and African universities in teaching about life-saving assistance and displacement in volatile contexts. HumanResponse establishes an educational platform where European and African partners build a resilient global workforce to tackle future humanitarian crises. Amidst ongoing conflict and escalating climate disasters, HumanResponse addresses the pressing need for professionalisation of humanitarian workers through (i) a specialized offer, (ii) fostering South-North collaboration and multi-stakeholder cooperation, (iii) strengthening localized leadership, and (iv) articulating theory and practice to navigate organizational complexity in humanitarian action. The partners bring extensive and relevant experience to this field from previous EU-funded projects and ongoing activities with the consortium’s associated partners. HumanResponse provides innovative training through three mobility teaching periods in Portugal, Norway and Uganda, providing students with a grounding in sociology, public policy, management, health, design, development and social work. A fourth mobility allows students to collect dissertation data in humanitarian contexts with 25 institutions (associated partners) in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America or Asia. The curriculum is taught by both academics and practitioners, emphasizing problem-based learning and knowledge application opportunities in summer schools and internships. The program, conducted in English, offers opportunities to learn relevant languages for humanitarian response. Staff mobility enables and enhances curriculum internationalization and strengthens the consortium’s global South-North humanitarian action network.
