BRACED Annual Learning Event

BRACED is one of the world’s leading resilience programmes spanning 13 countries across the Sahel, East Africa and Asia, with more than 100 organisations implementing resilience-building programmes.

The BRACED 2016 Annual Learning Event will take place from 9-11 February in Dakar, Senegal.

The event provides a unique opportunity to connect with technical experts, share ideas, exchange knowledge and be part of a wider community of practice. The event is designed in a way that allows engagement with a variety of topics, including parallel sessions to allow participants to engage with a large variety of issues and challenges.

Participants can thus contribute to shaping the agenda by providing input, sharing lessons learnt or new approaches. Participants are able to tailor their own programme, choosing from an array of sessions, from building their own expertise on specific research topics, through to listening to experts share new insights on resilience programming, or enjoying the fun of the learning fare and hone African drumming skills!

Objectives

• Collective reflection and sharing experiences of early implementation across the BRACED programme to improve future practice by learning from others.
• Sharing of knowledge, new evidence and research around what works to strengthen resilience including emerging findings, specific methods, reflective learning processes and more to equip us with the latest approaches for addressing difficult challenges.
• Engage with external partners to learn about BRACED and promote collaboration and uptake through identification of common strategic objectives to achieve more together.

 We would like to make this learning event as engaging and interactive as possible and have invited two organisations to support us in making this an interesting and exciting event:

The Applied Improvisation Network will support the event and all presenters in making the presentations innovative and interactive. Giolli Cooperative Sociale will facilitate a series of sessions to explore Forum Theatre.
