Training
Training is one of the pillars of the learning process proposed by Groupe URD, and as such one of the activities carried out by the thematic focal points in conjunction with evaluations and organisational support projects, which it complements and supports.
Each year, several face-to-face training sessions are organised by Groupe URD around:
- Theoretical time (presenting, explaining, understanding concepts);
- Case studies and specific exercises in sub-groups (sharing and applying);
- Workshops and tool application work (confronting, challenging);
- Collective time (reflecting, analyzing, sharing, capitalizing, working together).
Groupe URD’s training courses are designed for professionals in the sector and can take different forms depending on their needs and expectations.

Thematic modules
Groupe URD offers training courses in some of its fields of expertise, which may concern specific sectors of activity, transversal themes or methodological approaches.
Tailor-made training courses
Based on Groupe URD’s in-depth knowledge of the humanitarian system and its components, these courses offer content adapted to the challenges and specificities of any organisation (functioning, theory of change, etc.). They can be done in the field and/or at the NGO headquarters, and are prepared according to the expectations and needs of the sponsor.
Here are some examples of tailor-made training courses, but do not hesitate to contact us in order to study your request:
