With close to 30 million children living in conflict-affected countries, and hundreds of thousands of families displaced by natural disasters and the effects of climate related events, education in times of crisis and conflict is indispensable in order to achieve the goal of universal education. The Education in Emergencies course provides tools to design and implement educational projects from the emergency phase, to post-conflict situations, with a special emphasis on the mechanisms required to improve the quality of education during and after humanitarian crises. This course also focuses on the main challenges children face during forced displacement, from child recruitment to food security.
There is a course fee of $1,600 and students who complete the course successfully will earn two credit hours through Fordham University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. For those who do not wish to receive formal academic credit, the cost is $913 USD. Students who choose not to take the course for academic will receive a certificate of attendance for the program.
