TRAINING PROGRAMME
1997

RedR courses provide a unique opportunity to develop skills appropriate to
disaster relief.  They are widely recognised by relief agencies and their
relevance has been endorsed by RedR members in the field, particularly
those going on their first assignment.  The selection of topics and course
content is continually reviewed against field experience and through
discussion with other humanitarian agencies. Courses use participatory
training methods and, where appropriate, high quality equipment.  In
addition to improving effectiveness in disaster relief, the courses can
contribute towards formal professional development schemes.

The one-week course, Refugees, Agencies and Relief Workers, should be
regarded as an essential prerequisite for all relief workers, especially
those without disaster relief experience.

COSTS:-100/person/day all found.  Subsidised places at varying rates
available to those without institutional support.  Minimum fee
25/person/day. Further details on charging policy available on request.
Dates, venues or other details of courses may change.
