Welcome to Conflict Sensitive EiE!

This course unit is part of the full Education in Emergencies (EiE) Online pathway endorsed by INEE and developed in collaboration with War Child Holland. This course will look at how education and the way it is implemented can either contribute to conflict or help reduce tensions and strengthen people’s capacities to disengage from it.

 Is this course for me?
This course unit is primarily designed for education in emergencies (EiE) or education practitioners to ensure they have a good understanding of this essential aspect of EiE. It may also serve as a useful resource for those working in other areas but wanting to improve their understanding of this topic by diving into this intermediate-level content. This course unit connects with other EiE Online course units but can also be used as a standalone learning product.
