Understanding and Ending Gender-Based Violence in Fieldwork Training Module and Demonstration Webinar


The CONVERGE facility, headquartered at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, is excited to announce the release of a sixth CONVERGE Training Module. This online course, which was developed in partnership with The Fieldwork Initiative<http://fieldworkinitiative.org/>, focuses on Understanding and Ending Gender-Based Violence in Fieldwork. You can register and access the free module here: <http://converge-training.colorado.edu/courses/cultural-competence/> https://converge.colorado.edu/training-modules.


To learn more, please join us Tuesday, March 16, 2020, from 3:00-3:30 p.m. Mountain Time for a live webinar where our team will provide a demonstration of the CONVERGE Understanding and Ending Gender-Based Violence in Fieldwork Training Module. To register for the upcoming webinar, please visit:

This new module is part of a larger series designed to accelerate the training of a diverse hazards and disaster workforce. The new module focuses on the understanding and recognizing gender-based violence in fieldwork and helps researchers learn how to prevent and address these issues in the field. This module, like the others in the series, concludes with a 10-question quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, users receive a certificate. These modules can be useful for classroom assignments as well as other activities. Please see the CONVERGE Assignment Bank for sample activities: https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/assignment-bank.
