The Connecticut Institute for Social Entrepreneurship (CISE)’s International Humanitarian Course is designed for social entrepreneurs and community leaders who are new to humanitarian action and unfamiliar with the humanitarian environment to understand the international humanitarian system and the International humanitarian law as well as to provide them with a short overview of key aspects that affect innovation in a humanitarian setting, and the current state of humanitarian action.

The current humanitarian system was initially set up in the wake of World War II and was substantially reformed in the 1990s and 2000s. The system is a mix of laws, legal instruments, mandated and non-mandated organizations, structures, systems and processes. This course will also help participants navigate who they might work or partner with and what their role is during an emergency response.

Thank you for your interest in the International Humanitarian Course at the Connecticut Institute for Social Entrepreneurship! We look forward to working with you!
