Education in Emergencies: University of Geneva Switzerland

The University of Geneva offers an essential summer course on Education in Emergencies (EiE) as part of the Geneva Summer Schools. Positioned at the vital intersection of educational sciences and humanitarian action, this program explores how to preserve and provide quality education during conflicts, protracted crises, and climate-induced disasters. In alignment with SDG 4, the course brings together academic researchers and field practitioners from international organizations. While UNIGE provides the expert instruction and direct links to the humanitarian sector, Edulux Summer manages the high-end logistics and travel services required for your stay.
