In a three day congress in Berlin in preparation of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, about 100 young committed participants will discuss the current challenges and trends of international humanitarian aid. Talks, workshops, discussion forums and a world café will be held. The participants will meet representatives of European NGOs, UN organisations, international partners, persons affected by catastrophes, politicians, sponsors and scientists.

They will learn to understand the structure of international cooperation in the field of humanitarian aid and will be able to follow the reporting about the WHS in a professional way.
