The two-day Thematic Workshop on Children and Armed Conflict is offered by HPCR International in cooperation with the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University, and hosted by UNICEF. The Thematic Workshop on Children and Armed Conflict will address the various ways children are affected by contemporary conflicts through distinct legal and policy perspectives. Focusing on viable protection mechanisms and ways to enhance accountability and access, this course will examine specific challenges to child protection in conflict, including child health, education, and sexual violence. Through expert presentations, case studies, group discussions, and simulation exercises, participants will develop critical knowledge of international humanitarian law as applied to this vulnerable population. Thematic Workshops are open to mid-career applicants with prior exposure to humanitarian affairs who have completed HPCR International's Core Professional Training on Humanitarian Law and Policy or an equivalent multi-day training on IHL. Additional information and application forms are available on the event's website. For questions, please contact us at [email protected].
