<p>Funded by Organised by </p><p>This certificate programme in Humanitarian Protection is offered by the Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA) in partnership with the Human Rights Institute of University of Deusto and the collaboration of OXFAM GB</p><p>Introduction </p><p>This second edition of this unique five-day Summer School on humanitarian protection offers an informed and practice‐oriented approach to the main challenges, current discussions and key issues around humanitarian protection. The course consists of a combination of lectures, case studies and in-depth discussions. Participants will be presented with concepts and tools to assess protection needs in order to develop programs in protection. The protection of affected populations in situations of crisis, such as armed conflicts or natural disasters, has become a main element of humanitarian action. Humanitarian agencies have developed policies, manuals and guidelines in protection. However, its operationalization remains a challenge due to, inter alia, the persistent ambiguity of the concept, its complexity, and, in many cases, the lack of external references and standards for implementation. </p><p>NOHA is an international association of Universities that aims to enhance professionalism in the humanitarian sector, by promoting humanitarian values and providing certificated high-level courses (Erasmus Mundus Master in International Humanitarian Action), as well as short-term courses and by fostering research and policy papers on key humanitarian issues. Since its creation in 1993, more than 3,000 graduates have completed the Joint Master’s in International Humanitarian Action. NOHA counts on the cooperation and support of the EU through the DG Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection (ECHO) and the DG for Education and Culture.</p><p>The University of Deusto is a 125 years old University being the oldest private University in Spain. In 1994, the University started teaching the Diploma on International Humanitarian Aid, which in 1998 became a European Master Degree in International Humanitarian Action (shared with other NOHA Universities). The University of Deusto has kept always in mind the importance of offering high quality education and tailored specialization to humanitarian actors, trying to adapt constantly to the needs of a sector, which has changed drastically in the last 18 years. Deusto University is the reference centre in Spain for Higher Education on Humanitarian Studies.</p><p>1 Learning outcomes and contents of the course</p><p>By the end of the course, we expect that participants will be able to:</p><p>- Integrate protection considerations in their daily practices in humanitarian work - Assess risks and needs in protection - Design a humanitarian protection program - Take informed decisions when facing humanitarian protection dilemmas</p><p>As you can see in the program the course starts on Monday with an introduction, a review of key concepts and an introduction to the main normative frameworks which inform humanitarian protection.</p><p>From Tuesday to Thursday morning the sessions follow the logic of the program cycle: needs assessment, definition of objectives, implementation and evaluation, all about humanitarian protection, with a focus on specific protection activities.
