The Humanitarian Ethics and Principles in Practice module is run as two 60 minute sessions.
The first session considers Humanitarian Ethics and aims to introduce participants to the challenge of ethical dilemma that is inherent in humanitarian response.
The second session builds upon the first and introduces the four Humanitarian Principles and the concept of ‘do no harm’ in humanitarian response. The module has a specific emphasis on the context of the Ukraine humanitarian crisis response and encourages the participants to reflect on how their own personal ethics affect their decision making and actions in supporting the response.
