Disaster Relief Workshop-Nepal Earthquake 2015

Workshop • RedR UK

About the CPD course

The aim of the exercise is to give participants a taste of what it’s like to work in disaster relief; as well as to develop their team work and inter-team coordination skills. This is done via a simulation in which participants are tasked with delivering an effective humanitarian response to an area affected by a natural disaster; specifically the Nepal earthquake 2015. They are also given a grounding into humanitarian work: its principles and wider context.
