Handbook

‘Empowerment’, ‘participation’, ‘social inclusion’, ‘resilience’ ‘justice’: we all know that we want to achieve these ideals, but what do they mean and how are they operationalized in practice? In this course, you will gain a critical knowledge of the core vocabulary and approaches common in global development today. You will learn strategies to stay up to date with the ever-shifting terrain of development practice, and develop the sensibilities to work effectively with a range of development partners. You will gain critical insight into how to make development ‘inclusive’ for all people, regardless of gender, (dis)ability, sexuality, socio-economic background and so on. The course has been designed for global development students to deepen their understanding of core development practices, while equipping students from other disciplines with foundational knowledges and skills to work effectively, ethically and sensibly in the Global South.
