Purpose of Workshop/Skills Taught/ Methodology
The purpose of the DRM workshop is both to develop practical skills for humanitarian practitioners or volunterers who are involved in initiatives across the Disaster Risk Management Cycle (DRMC) , this including work in complex emergencies, in both Australia and overseas. The heart of the workshop is a combination of the four participative diagrams which are explained in the link below, as well as the global ISO 31000 risk management framework. www.torqaid.com/images/stories/drmframeworkshort.pdf
This is a practically-based intensive workshop which combines both classroom teaching and, for those seeking advanced standing towards off-campus graduate courses offered by three Australian universities, follow-up assignments. 1. See diagram at the end of this brochure.
