“An exceptionally distilled course, explaining the very realistic aspects of peace mediation approaches, and how these can function in real time geopolitically, imposing multi-actor complexity on humanitarian organisations and conflict-societies as they strive to effect conditions in crises. Certainly a course designed to inform Foreign Office actors, Diplomats and Humanitarian Leaders.”

“I constantly find myself reflecting on that immersive week of HEAT/HEMAT training. So much of what we learnt has become integral in my work with UNHCR, helping me to understand my surroundings, the thought processes of different stakeholders in certain situations and encouraging proactive measures at problem solving. Probably one of the most indispensable trainings I have undertaken as a humanitarian.”
