Published by the Global Learning Centre United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2010


When the Global Learning Centre opened its doors in June of 2009, it embraced an ambitious programme to increase the availability of high quality learning to support improved protection and service delivery, to assist with the consolidation of internal reforms, and to help staff members pursue reasonable career development expectations. The breadth and range of activities that UNHCR staff and their partners perform, the size of the target audience (over 8,000!) and its geographical dispersion make for a daunting but exhilarating task. The GLC is progressively increasing its offerings with new, targeted programmes in all major subject areas, with special focus on protection, operations, and resources management. An area of particular interest concerns the development of leadership and interpersonal or “soft” skills. In an environment characterized by growing levels of interagency coordination and joint planning, there is an identified need to further develop those very skills and attitudes without which the impact of functional competence is diminished. The GLC supports a holistic view of learning as a change process: the acquisition of knowledge must be matched by the ability – and the willingness - to make the best use of it to influence the environment in which we work. To ensure on-time access to learning material, the GLC has adopted instructional technology to complement traditional face-to-face modes of delivery. Learn&Connect, our Learning Management System, allows participants to register, launch learning activities, participate in on-line courses, give and receive feedback and assessments, and keep a record of each participant’s learning history. As UNHCR’s internet

connectivity continues to improve, greater numbers of learners will have on-line access. In the interim, the GLC continues to work with CD-ROMs and printed materials to ensure that all staff, no matter the location, can join our global classroom. The GLC believes that learning can be a powerful motivator of staff performance, particularly when the learning can be put to immediate use. In striving to increase learning opportunities, and foster a culture of learning, we are also advocating for greater institutional flexibility in recognising newly acquired skills when considering reassignment. This Catalogue presents the currently available training and learning opportunities for UNHCR staff, affiliated workforce and partners. It is a living document that will be regularly updated to reflect new products, and is meant to assist staff members and their managers in planning their learning paths, and to assist partners with their learning needs. Recognizing that additional learning needs may exist, the GLC also offers limited External Studies support, particularly in specialized functional areas. More information on all offerings can be found on the Learn &Connect platform. GLC staff believe that learning is fundamentally about change – change in how we perform, in what we know and in how effectively we collaborate. We know that learning takes time, involves practice in the real world of our work and is not always easy. Learning is also not a privilege, it is a necessity for the organization to successfully adapt to the changing contexts within which UNHCR finds itself working. Ultimately, as the delivery of protection and humanitarian assistance becomes increasingly professionalized and – some may say – bureaucratic, we passionately believe that the acquisition of skills and knowledge cannot be divorced from the ethical values that underpin humanitarian action - among them, respect for the people we care for, and a true commitment to helping them remain protagonists of the processes that affect their lives.

Protection Learning Programme (PLP) The Protection Learning Programme (PLP) aims to create a common understanding of UNHCR’s mandate for international protection and related international legal standards, and enhances knowledge and skills to be applied in the delivery of International Protection. The Programme guides participants through the various stages of a refugee’s life; identifying


problems which may arise and ways of addressing them through a thorough age, gender and diversity analysis. The PLP aims to show how boys, girls, men and women of different ages and backgrounds experience the refugee journey differently, which may require differing responses to the protection problems they face. Particular emphasis is paid to enhancing the capacity of staff to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence. While reference is made to the refugee life cycle, the focus of the PLP is on the protection of all persons of concern.

Resettlement Learning Programme (RLP) The Resettlement Learning Programme (RLP) has grown out of the successful experience of the joint RSD and Resettlement Learning Programme. This programme was developed in order to ensure a more in-depth focus on resettlement. Considering the significant progress that has been made in the past five years, when more than 330,000 refugees were resettled, resettlement continues to play a vital role in protecting individual refugees at risk, including in response to emergency refugee situations. In addition, resettlement also has a role in sharing responsibilities with refugees hosting governments and the strategic search of solutions, in particular for protracted refugee situations. As a result, UNHCR continues to strengthen its resettlement activities and operations. In this vein, the RLP aims to contribute to a more coherent and predictable resettlement delivery that addresses refugees’ protection needs with diligence, integrity, transparency and accountability. Structure and Methodology of the Programme The RLP is a six-month thematic programme that complements the Protection Learning Programme by offering distance self-study, coached and web-based modules and a workshop that deals specifically with resettlement.

Objectives The RLP aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of resettlement practitioners. Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to:


Self-assess their knowledge and expertise to perform resettlement and identify key areas for individual improvement;

Understand policy, global issues and key challenges relating to resettlement, including the concept of comprehensive durable solutions strategy and the strategic use of resettlement;

Identify refugees in need of resettlement and assess their cases in conformity with UNHCR’s established resettlement categories;

Understand the various phases / methods of the resettlement process and improve the quality of the resettlement submissions;

Understand the basics of Refugee Status Determination (RSD) and identify areas that need to be clarified during the resettlement interview;

Best Interest Determination of the Child (BID)


The principle of the best interests of the child has been the subject of extensive consideration in academic, operational and other circles. Legal documents relating to the protection of children, including those adopted by UNHCR’s Executive Committee on children of concern to the Office, systematically refer to it.

How to apply this principle in practice, however, often remains challenging for UNHCR and its partners. Limited guidance is available on how to operationalize the best interests principle. The UNHCR Guidelines on Determining the Best Interest of a Child are intended as one step to help fill this gap.

The webinar - based on the Guidelines - offers guidance on how to apply the best interest-principle in practice, and defines the three situations in which UNHCR must undertake a BID.

Objectives To further strengthen staff capacity to perform qualitative and timely Best Interest Determination (BID) for children at risk as a joint effort between UNHCR and partners and in line with minimum standards and procedures as set out in the BID Guidelines. Upon completion of this course the learner will be able to: â—?

Demonstrate knowledge of the concept, objectives and principles of BID;

â—?

Understand the legal framework of BID and use BID as part of a comprehensive child protection system including: - Identify children who require BID; - Establish minimum standard procedures for BID implementation; - Reaching quality decisions through balancing facts and the rights of children; - Monitor and evaluate the BID process.

Workshop on Conflict Analysis and Coexistence Peacebuilding involves a range of measures targeted to reduce the risk of lapsing or relapsing

59


into conflict by strengthening national capacities at all levels for conflict management, and to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development. Logically, these measures are of critical importance to UNHCR’s mandate of providing international protection to its persons of concern and to seek durable solutions for them. There is an increasing international recognition of the need for more sustainable approaches to peacebuilding, which among others has led to the new UN peacebuilding architecture and a Secretary General report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict. UNHCR at a global level has recently reviewed its work which contributes directly or indirectly to peace and stability with a view to further strengthen and target interventions within a more conceptualized peacebuilding framework. A global workshop on peacebuilding was held in Geneva in October 2010, where priority operations as well as core thematic areas of peacebuilding work were identified. This workshop builds on the outcomes of the global workshop and intends to support operations which have identified peacebuilding/coexistence projects and build capacity for implementation. The workshop aims to enhance staff and partner capacity in the development and implementation of peacebuilding/coexistence projects, including in: the concept of peacebuilding in UNHCR operations; Conflict and Context Analysis, Gender and Peacebuilding; a Community and Area Based Approach to Peacebuilding; Peacebuilding/ Coexistence Project design and implementation.

Objectives After completing this workshop the participant will be able to: Explain the concept of peacebuilding, what it entails and UNHCR s role and responsibility in a regional/ cross border context; Use conflict analysis to assess risks (of parties to the conflict relapsing into conflict affecting persons of concern) and measures to mitigate those risks; Understand and factor gender into peacebuilding activities Transform identified measures into concrete peacebuilding/ coexistance initiatives; Understand and apply a community and area based approach to implementing peacebuilding activities.
