UNHCR Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Apr 2008
InterWorks conducted the fifth Emergency Team Leadership Programme (ETLP) workshop in Switzerland from 13 to 18 April 2008.
The ETLP is a blended learning programme consisting of a pre-workshop phase with readings, peer feedback and self-assessments, a weeklong face-to-face workshop and a post-workshop learning activity. Themes which anchor the design of the ETLP include “emotional intelligence”, “situational leadership”, “’win-win’ negotiation”, “decision-making in emergencies”, “team care/ trust building in emergencies” and “coaching”. All ETLP learning activities, discussions and presentations are contextualized to reflect humanitarian emergency environments, challenges and scenarios.
The ETLP targets individuals within the IASC network of agencies (at the UN P4 level) who are currently leading teams or offices in the field or who expect to be available for deployment as emergency team leaders within 12 months following the workshop.
…overall felt the course was interesting. I learned a lot and hope I can put it all to use! I had high expectations for the course and felt those expectations were met. Thank you!
