‘Applying Sphere standards in urban contexts’ is a new 3-day online/in-person training package that has been co-developed by Sphere and the German Red Cross.
Watch the recording of this event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpUCMCKuhpY
This training package promotes an inclusive, rights-based and people-centred response to disasters in urban areas, via the contextualisation and application of Sphere minimum humanitarian standards.
Sphere trainer Aya Yagan will lead the launch event with an interactive and informative 2h workshop presenting the esssentials of the new package.
Participants will discover how the first two days of the training use practical exercises, based on the Ukraine conflict, to demonstrate the complexities of the urban setting as well as the relevance of Sphere standards. The final tabletop exercise on day 3 enables participants to apply their learning to an imaginary city in crisis, in an interactive and exciting group simulation game.
This workshop is offered free of charge, and is of relevance to anyone involved in urban response.
The workshop will be held in English, but will be available to watch, with subtitles, on YouTube after the event.
