About the Winter Course

KUNO is preparing for its first Winter Course. For six years now, KUNO has hosted its annual Summer Course, and because that always turned out to be a big success, we added the Winter Course to our program!

Have you recently started working in the humanitarian field and are you looking for a solid kick-start? Or are you an experienced humanitarian professional looking for a thorough update? The KUNO Winter Course is there for you.

With an unprecedented number of humanitarian crises around the world, the need for humanitarian aid has never been more vital. This winter, we invite you to embark on a journey of learning and exploration into the intricate realm of humanitarian assistance.

In this two-day introductory course on humanitarian aid, humanitarian academics and experienced humanitarian professionals will discuss relevant aspects of humanitarian work. A mixture of practical knowledge, debates and working sessions, will feed your brain, enhance your efficiency as a humanitarian worker and strengthen your network.

Speakers

  • Thea Hilhorst, Professor of humanitarian studies from the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) and president Humanitarian Studies Centre at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
  • Paul van den Berg, Political Advisor Cordaid and chair visibility working group DRA.
  • Rolf Wijnstra, Senior Policy Adviser Humanitarian Aid & Diplomacy at Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
