CID is holding an online panel event to celebrate the release of our e-learning course Dev101!

The three-part course is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of working in, or engaging with, the international development and humanitarian aid sector. It provides insight into the fundamental principles and overarching history of international development and humanitarian aid, and how it has functioned in Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as the key concepts and principles in good development practice. It also gives an overview of current changes and challenges in the sector.

This talk will give you the opportunity to hear from those who helped develop the course, with time for Q&A at the end. Panellists will discuss the process of developing the course, what it covers, and its applications. Ultimately, they will weigh in on the value of the course to those in, and new to, the Aotearoa New Zealand international development sector.

Panellists include:

• Charlotte te Reit Scholten-Phillips, Principal Advisor at the Mangrove Collective. Charlotte was a significant contributor and helped finalise the course.
• Sharon Bell, International Development Program Manager at the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research. Sharon is a member of the CID Reference Group who reviewed Dev101.
• Danica Waiti, Co-Chair of the Pacific Koloa Collective (PKC), which represents indigenous Pacific and Maori development and humanitarian practitioners within INGOs in Aotearoa New Zealand, and whose team members helped review the course text.

Whether you're new to international development, or just want a deeper understanding of the sector, its worth tuning in to this event to hear what the course is all about!
