The certification programme is organised in a blended modality. It includes a distance-learning phase followed by a one-week workshop in Turin on the United Nations Campus under the umbrella of the 2023 Development Cooperation Academy (see below). Once participants have completed the workshop, they will then work remotely with the assistance of an expert on a final project and receive their certification. The entire programme consists of approximately 60 hours of learning.
The workshop in Turin is part of the Academy on Development Cooperation, this year's theme being:
“Redefining the World of Work in Development Cooperation: Exploring the Convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Climate Change, and Remote Management”
The Academy will bring together over 100 participants and experts. In addition to completing the workshop as part of the certification programme, participants will have the opportunity to participate a global forum during morning sessions on development cooperation.
Participating in the Development Cooperation Academy provides excellent networking opportunities, cutting-edge knowledge and innovation in the field of development cooperation, opportunities for personal development, and the occasion to develop a global perspective in the spirit of multilateralism. This is also an opportunity to broaden one's horizons both professionally and technically by keeping abreast of the latest trends and developments in the field. Participants will work together to define and gain a global perspective on the future of development cooperation work.
