My experience with the RedR UK training course was so great, I am really excited at the prospect of so many more people having this opportunity with them teaching in the US. The curriculum is in depth, interesting and significant - from understanding the origin and role of the Geneva Conventions to more recent agreements and analysis of disasters and emergencies. Understanding how NGOs and the UN are organized and work together is an important part of the field as well. But what I really liked was the straight talk about finding and getting jobs in this field. Invaluable information and connections.
