Hands On

Together with our partner The New Humanitarian, we will give a brief introduction to the most important techniques when working with marginalised and traumatised people and when reporting on humanitarian crises. We will introduce the concepts of: 

* trauma-sensitive interview formats

* informed consent 

* decolonisation of narratives
