1. REDR Hands-On Weekends
SHELTER IN EMERGENCIES

2. WHAT ARE REDR HANDS ON WEEKENDS?
A chance for individuals without humanitarian experience to:
Learn more about disaster relief
Meet like-minded people
Hear from experienced humanitarians
Take part in practical disaster relief workshops
“I enjoyed every aspect of the weekend, I learnt so much. I loved how interactive it was, the hands-on learning and manual labour was brilliant to get perspective.”

3. SHELTER WEEKEND 2015 CONTENT Shelter in a rural context,
Planning and logistical aspects of refugee camps,
Disaster-resilient construction techniques.
WHEN? 19/20 Sept Where? Warnham Park, Sussex (1 hour from London)

4. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
The weekends are organised by RedR’s corporate volunteers – mainly civil/structural engineers with an interest in disaster relief but little practical experience in humanitarian situations.
To make these weekends a success, we need your knowledge and experience to help with the following tasks:
To develop practical workshops between now and September
To deliver workshops on the weekend itself
To speak about your experience on the weekend itself
We can’t offer pay, but we can offer food, drinks, a camping spot, travel expenses and the chance to inspire the humanitarians of the future!
