HEAT Skills: Negotiation Skills in Crisis

HDFF’s two-day HEAT Negotiation Skills in Crisis training is an essential and much-needed course for the implementation of missions. This training is addressed to anyone deployed on the field and their leader. This course addresses negotiations in several contexts: while facing government officials to obtain permission papers, while negotiating for the pricing of supplies, while asking for medical assistance in challenging situations, and while in a situation where no negotiation is possible. The training is highly participatory and mostly scenario-based. It is conducted by internationally experienced and culturally sensitive facilitators.

Objectives:

– To facilitate the participants’ understanding of negotiations in challenging situations
– To increase the participant’s understanding of the limitations in negotiations.
– To train basic principles and skills of negotiations in different settings
