Antecedentes

In a world with ever-growing complexity, sustainable solutions can only emerge from successful collaboration. 

Overall, this course aims to support you to set your relationships for collaboration, even in difficult situations. Collaboration requires having the capacity to turn inward, tune into one’s own mindset and needs for self-care as well as the capacity to turn outwards by entering productive dialogue and create support systems to effectively function as a team to address the challenges of highly complex and fast changing environments (such as conflict and post-conflict settings). At UNITAR we are working towards creating a series of online and face to face offerings to enable change agents, humanitarian workers and other helpers to increase their inner wellbeing so that they contribute to a better and more peaceful world in a more effective and sustainable way. 

This course is the second of the series. As you have cared so much for others, let us join you on the journey of taking care of yourself!
