Module description
This module provides an overview of what humanitarian ethics and principles are, why they are important and what they mean in practical terms for the Ukraine humanitarian response. The module explores the Humanitarian Charter, the humanitarian principles, the protection principles, the principle of do no harm, and the characteristics of a rights-based approach. The module provides opportunities for learners to consider what this means in practical terms for their work in the Ukraine humanitarian response.
There are no pre-requisites for attending the module, but it is recommended that learners are familiar with the purpose and core content of The Minimum Standards. Learners who wish to deepen their understanding before participating in this module are encouraged to watch the video 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: An introduction to The Minimum Standards and participate in the module 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: Using the Minimum Standards for Camp Management in practice'.
This module is a facilitated module which uses participatory methods. It is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed.
