- Integrating Early Warning & Comprehensive Prevention
-
This one-day intensive program designed for policy makers, aid and development workers, journalists, practitioners, and conflict specialists will provide a global overview of systems, tools and methods which can allow us to identify conflicts before they become violent (early warning) and successful lessons learned and policy options which can contribute to effective and comprehensive prevention. Concrete case-studies and examples will be used to illustrate lessons-learned and experiences in the field. Systems, tools and methodologies for early warning will be presented and reviewed, identifying strengths and benefits as well as shortcomings and challenges, and how these can be used by governments, national and international agencies, NGOs, local communities and the media to better identify conflicts, and escalating conflict situations and crisis, and prevent the outbreak of armed conflict. The program will look at operational, structural and systemic approaches to comprehensive prevention drawing from real situations and helping to identify practical methodologies and approaches which can be of value to organizations, agencies, and governments working to prevent deadly conflicts and violence and strengthen capacities to transform conflicts constructively.

- People-based organisations: what organisational psychology can contribute to aid and development
-
One of the most valuable assets that any organisation holds is the people who work within it. That is particularly true for those organisations which are involved in aid and development work. Organisations working in these areas, and ultimately the communities they serve, rely on commitment, motivation and a range of other human factors from their staff. 'How' do we (a) describe, (b) select, (c) train and (d) evaluate these important workers? Using hands-on practical exercises, this workshop will explore a selection of relatively robust process skills/techniques for tackling questions (a) to (d), in a contemporary context. Saturday 27 September 2008, 9.00 - 4.30
