Interested in disaster relief and development?

Want to spend a weekend learning about shelter from experts in the field?

This course aims to provide an introduction to shelter, from international planning through to project implementation and the associated practical technical skills. With a mix of theory and hands-on workshops covering shelter in emergencies, the transition from relief to development, and reconstruction and mitigation, this course will educate and inspire.

We ran another successful and well-received course at Clare Farm from 20th - 22nd June, 2008.

The aims for the course include:

Clare Farm is an exciting 2.5 day course held at Clare Farm in Dullingham. The course was the first EWB-UK course and has always been hugely popular. The 2.5 days provides an excellent introduction to a number of areas of development through a series of practical exercises and theoretical sessions led by professionals from the development and relief fields.

The last of this years Welsh Assembly Grant funded training courses. This weekend course will cover the usual topics in the WATSAN field, with speakers who have undertaken work overseas and have advice to give! With presentations on Water Quality, Water Distribution and the new Archloo Design. It looks set to be a dynamic weekend with a mixture of classroom and practical sessions.

"This was my first experience of an EWB training weekend and I’m happy to say it was a positive one! The course is suitable for anyone with an interest in Wind Power, regardless of experience, but also provides enough technical information and expertise for those with background knowledge.

My name is Penny Gilg and I am a 1st year Civil and Environmental Engineer at Cardiff University. I recently joined EWB because I want to use my degree to help other people on a both a world wide and community based scale and saw EWB as the perfect organization to offer these opportunities.

On the weekend of 30^th November to the 2^nd December we went to the Centre for Alternative Technology just north of Machynlleth in mid-Wales. The centre offers practical solutions to help us lessen our impact on the environment.

An exciting weekend of talks and practicals covering solar water heating, energy storage and distribution, zero-carbon housing, mini-hydro power and more! If you have any questions, please e-mail cardiff@ewb-uk.org
