On many minds in Türkiye, Syria, across the Middle East and the world is ‘how can I help?’
To support volunteers and humanitarians working on the Türkiye-Syria earthquake response, the Humanitarian Leadership Academy has compiled free resources on a Response Learning Hub.
Responders can access a range of learning and training resources in relevant areas including Humanitarian Essentials; Public Health, Nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH); Mental Health and Psychosocial Support and Child Protection in Emergencies.
Content on the Hub is available in Arabic and English; Turkish will be added with regular updates as the response continues.
Rachel O’Brien, Director of the Humanitarian Leadership Academy said:
“Our thoughts are with all those affected by the devastating earthquake, and we hope that the Hub serves as a critical resource for volunteers and humanitarians.”
“Content from the Hub is drawn fromKaya, our free e-learning platform driving locally led learning. Kaya includes courses developed in partnership with local partners across the Middle East, where over 90k of our 650,000 learners are based.”
“When a crisis happens there is fear and despair, the feeling of vulnerability and helplessness.”
“The right learning can empower people to confidently support a response.”
Content on the Response Learning Hub is already being accessed by thousands of people and humanitarians responding to the Ukraine Emergency. The Hub provides relevant learning for various stages of the response, including for when reconstruction begins.
