Training days: the 30th, 31st of January and 1st of February 2021.
This training on personal security in the humanitarian sector, developed by OSCs, has a simple main objective: to provide participants with a set of tools to prepare them effectively to manage their personal security in the field. It aims to train humanitarian staff deployed in high-risk or isolated areas, in order to increase their awareness and preparedness, and to enable them to assist beneficiaries while ensuring their own safety. This training is 70% practical and 30% theoretical.
More specifically, it aims to provide Awareness of practical realities, Knowledge of basic tools and Know-how through the acquisition of skills, to manage their personal security abroad in the context of aid operations. These 3 components are used under the international acronym AKS (Awareness, Knowledge, Skills).

· Theoretical sessions, aimed at consolidating methods (pre-departure checklist, do's and don'ts in violent situations, etc.);
· Practical sessions, aimed at training in essential basic practices (first aid, radio protocols, etc.);
· Simulations, aimed at crystallizing the use of the above-mentioned methods and practices in a tangible setting;
· Validation and feedback sessions (debriefings and key lessons learned).
