Cool. Clean. Fresh.

Running water… Don’t take it for granted.

 

The second training course in the EWB/Mott MacDonald Water Series is here!

The EWB-UK/RedR Cambridge Group training course at Clare Farm, which has been running for a number of year, has always been an exciting and inspiring event. The course consists of practical exercises, focussing on both development and disaster relief work.

The course is led by professionals who have experience of working abroad using practically-based and refreshing ways of teaching.

 

 

Our annual pre-departure course which is run to prepare volunteers going on the EWB-UK placements scheme covers many issues and topics vital to effective development work.

For more details contact Fran Talavera (EWB-UK Training Programme Manager) or Gareth Lewis (EWB-UK Placements Co-ordinator).

 

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.

***THIS COURSE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED****

EWB-Oxford is organising a day focussing on Water and Sanitation. 

In the morning the session will be taught by Jan Davis (co-author of Engineering in Emergencies) . The aim will be to introduce water, sanitation and hygiene issues for displaced people in an emergency, with the outcome of session participants being able to deliver a WASH programme.

EWB-UK and its university branches around the country provide a wide range of exciting, hands-on training events to raise awareness of international development. Aimed at young engineers, these events - from talks and short workshops to longer courses - will give you the skills you need to make a difference. So spend a weekend with us!

The landmark work by E.F. Schumacher Small is Beautiful changed the face of development economics.

In November 2008, EWB-Nottingham invited Mike Pepler of the Ashden Awards to come and give a session on Biofuels and their importance in todays world.

EWB-Nottingham member, Sian Bower, wrote a review of the event.

 

Aimed at people who want to go abroad, this course educates the participant on aspects of personal safety the traveller might encounter away from home; such as road safety and safe working practices with a particular emphasis on performing personal risk assessments when working abroad.  This course would be highly useful to anyone considering a placement or travel overseas.

This energy-packed weekend will be a great event, full of practical activities and the theory behind their implementation in the field.

Sessions will include stoves, solar heating and water purification using solar energy.

 

Applications are open now UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY 9TH NOVEMBER - please follow this link!
