While data analysis plays a growing role across sectors, many professionals lack a clear understanding of how data can be effectively structured, interpreted, and visualized. Mapping geospatial data is a crucial first step in making complex patterns and relationships visible and in supporting evidence-based decision-making.

In this introductory training, you will gain a solid foundation in QGIS. You will learn core mapping concepts, work with accessible geospatial datasets, and develop an understanding of how professional maps are designed and applied in real-world contexts. By the end of the course, you will be able to work with maps independently and confidently, and to use QGIS as a practical and powerful tool in your professional work.

Modern leadership in humanitarian organizations requires much more than organizational skills—it requires a great sense of authenticity, resilience, and the ability to act straightforwardly and engagingly in a challenging and often hectic environment. Especially in demanding situations, leaders are required to provide clear guidance, make sound decisions, and support their teams with empathy.

In this three-day training course, you will learn the basics of value-oriented and reflective leadership in the humanitarian context. You will become familiar with key leadership models and explore your own leadership style, values, and role models. Practical tools and methods will help you to apply and develop leadership skills in your everyday work.

Interactive learning formats, real-life case studies, and peer coaching encourage personal reflection and collegial exchange. The goal is to expand your own repertoire of skills, effectively meet challenges, and promote a resilient, motivating team culture—in the spirit of responsible and sustainable leadership in NGOs.
