Learn how to suggest effective retrofitting measure of earthquake-affected vernacular buildings in Morocco (Arabic).
Please note that this course is designed for those working on the response to the September 2023 Morocco earthquake. To ensure that we can allocate resources effectively, please only register for this course if you are directly involved in the Morocco earthquake response"
RedR UK reserves the right to withdraw your place on the course if we believe you are not involved in the Morocco earthquake response, so please answer all questions in the order form as accurately and honestly as possible.
If you have registered for a place and can no longer attend you must let us know by emailing engineering.skills@redr.org.uk as soon as you are able.
Whilst this course is free of charge to attend, places on this course are extremely limited and letting us know you cannot attend allows us to give your space to someone on the waiting list and keep these courses free for the future.
Understand how to suggest retrofitting measures for earthquake-affected vernacular buildings in Morocco
RedR UK is offering a free-of-charge, innovative, high-quality online training course aiming to provide technical responders of all disciplines in Morocco with an understanding of the strategies and approaches for communication and community engagement in humanitarian response, including the importance of two-way communication to build trust.
The facilitated module uses participatory methods and it is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.
