It is also tailored for young professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of humanitarian action and research in education.


COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course introduces participants to the field of EIE, which lies at the intersection of educational sciences and humanitarian action. As highlighted in (Quality Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all), providing education during conflict, protracted crises, or climate-induced disasters is essential. Unfortunately, many regions worldwide face such challenges, making EIE increasingly significant within the international community.

The program lasts one week and is structured into four main sections:

  • Foundations of EIE
  • Theoretical frameworks
  • Current advancements
  • Thematic analyses

By the end of the program, participants will achieve several key objectives:

  • Understand the emergence and evolution of EIE
  • Navigate the field using specific concepts and frameworks
