Personal safety and (mental) health – essentials for assignments abroad
In recent years especially, the number of fragile and conflict-affected contexts has been increasing again. At the same time, fragile contexts in particular are often the location of assignments abroad for people working in DC/IC.
The Academy for International Cooperation offers the Skills4Abroad programme to prepare people for what they will encounter before and during an assignment abroad. This programme offers a wide range of courses surrounding the topic of safety, sexual violence and mental health. All of our courses help you to develop the necessary skills for protecting yourself and also for dealing considerately and appropriately with other people (family, target groups, colleagues).
All our courses are available in German and English and are aimed at experts and managers working in DC/IC, plus their accompanying partners. All the courses are delivered by experienced trainers who are experts in their specific fields. The learning services are offered free of charge to experts and managers who will be working abroad for at least one year, and to their accompanying partners (if they are also expected to live abroad for a year). Other people may attend most of the other courses, provided that places are available and the costs are covered by their organisations (participation fees).
Here you can find further information about our range of courses and the conditions of participation.
