TAILOR – MADE WORKSHOPS

In addition to offering set professional development courses, DGSI offers the opportunity of tailor-made workshops for:

• Organisations about to deploy personnel to conflict zones – including area-specific knowledge provision;
• Organisations grappling with specific conflict-related problems – such as whether, when or how to conduct negotiations with armed non-state actors;
• Organisations seeking to develop specific conflict-related skills – such as how to improve conflict sensitivity or develop systematic conflict analysis.

Drawing both on in-house expertise and its global networks, DGSI can offer short courses which are tailored to the needs of the commissioning organisation, whether an NGO, a Ministry or an intergovernmental organisation.

If you would like to request a tailor-made training (minimum participants 7), please contact the MSc programme director [lena.s.opfermann@durham.ac.uk]or the DGSi director[jutta.bakonyi@durham.ac.uk]
