Over the past year, the Covid 19 pandemic has both multiplied global humanitarian needs across all sectors and posed many challenges to the ways humanitarian organizations work. Among many other aspects, the exceptional global situation has brought and continues to bring implications for the day-to-day work of humanitarian staff. What used to imply lengthy processes now happened almost overnight: work processes were made more flexible, digital formats were used for (project) work, and new ways of working were developed. Some of these changes were easier for employees to handle, but at other points many also reached their limits.

This workshop will focus on these experiences. You will be encouraged to reflect on your experiences in the context of everyday work in a structured exchange. How did you experience and overcome the particular challenges? What changes would you like to maintain and how can a sustainable change in work culture be driven and implemented? The workshop will take place online on 02 July from 9 am to 1 pm (CEST) and includes regular breaks.
