Trainer’s Package for a Five Day Sphere “Technical Sectors” Course

InterWorks developed this one-week training workshop design to make the technical/sectoral aspects of the Sphere Project’s Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response more accessible to managers, generalists, and other humanitarian field workers who may sometimes feel “out of their depth” in dealing with the various standards and indicators in the four “technical” chapters of the document.

The workshop materials include a proposed 5-day agenda, with simulated table-top emergency response exercise and pre-and post tests. PowerPoint presentations to accompany each workshop session are provided in the original PowerPoint file and may be amended or modified by the user to meet local needs and conditions. Short trainers’ notes are also provided to explain the intent and planned implementation of each session. Skilled trainers are encouraged to modify these sessions to suit their own needs and to reflect key problems or issues they wish to highlight.

You are welcome to use any or all of this material without restriction, and only request a brief citation of the InterWorks as the source of this training material.  Click here for a listing of the materials available for download.
