COVID-19 introduced great educational disruption to higher education which compelled Boston College School of Social Work (BCSSW) to consider significant innovation to meet students’ needs and prepare them for effective global work in the humanitarian aid and development sectors. In response, BCSSW developed an online Interdisciplinary Certificate in Humanitarian Assistance (ICHA) which aims to ensure that our graduates and humanitarian partners have access to up-to-date knowledge on how best to respond to rapidly changing needs.
There are eight modules included in this certificate:
Migrants and Refugees in the Global Landscape
Basics of Refugee Determination
Community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
Introduction to International Child Protection
Climate Change, Displacement and Human Rights
Gender Based Violence
Public Health in Emergencies
Education in Emergencies
Throughout these modules, you will learn from working professionals who have contributed through video as well as authored the text. In addition to watching videos and reading text, you will interact with the content, in various ways, through sliders that reveal information as you move, hotspots on an image, a variety of question styles (both graded and ungraded), and more.
Duration to complete each module: 4-6 hours approximately.
