Description

The activities of the short program aim at the development of fundamental skills in disaster risk reduction so that they can be integrated into professional practice. By virtue of the active pedagogical strategies favored in this program, students will be exposed to realistic, even real cases, situations and problems, and called upon to reflect in a transversal, intersectoral and multi-scalar manner on the human, organizational and societal dimensions specific to every event. This will allow them to appropriate the knowledge and practices relating to the development of resilience in the face of disasters applicable in their professional field, whether in the public, parapublic or private sector. Graduates will be able to reinvest in their professional career, whatever it may be, the skills contributing to risk management, vulnerability reduction and resilience building in the face of disasters.
