Module description
This module provides an overview of the minimum standards concerning the location and planning of collective centres and other displacement sites. Topics include ways to ensure environments are safe and secure (standard 3.1) and physically, socially and culturally appropriate (standard 3.2). This module explores the potential vulnerabilities of displaced populations, the protection risks they may face and how the Minimum Standards can be used to mitigate these risks. The module focuses on the specific context of the Ukraine humanitarian response and provides opportunities for participants to consider the issues in light of their own experiences.
There are no pre-requisites for this module, but it is recommended that learners are familiar with the purpose and core content of the Minimum Standards before attending the module. 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 for displacement sites' and participate in the module 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: Using the Minimum Standards 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. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning. At the end of the module, participants will be provided with a summary of key messages from the module and a list of relevant resources.
