The Advanced Training Program on Humanitarian Action, (ATHA) aims to build a foundation of insightful and continuous dialogue on humanitarian issues among relevant stakeholders. For purpose of having a place for discussions on emerging humanitarian challenges and creation of an ATHA Alumni Network the ATHA Team has created a LinkedIn group

- ATHA LinkedIn Community Forum.

The ATHA Community Forum will work an Forum for professionals seeking a platform for discussions within the humanitarian context, but also serve as a Alumni Network for the participants to the advanced training program.

Within the Forum we have created various discussion topics relating to the thematic areas that the program covers.

How do I join?
When entering into the ATHA program all participants will automatically receive an invitation to join in to the ATHA Community Forum. Other professionals, who wish to join the group need to send in their request through their individual LinkedIn account. All request will be reviewed and decided upon by the ATHA Team. To enter into the group each applicant need to have a professional affiliation to an humanitarian or development actor. Please state this connection in your request.

The forum is open for discussions and networking that falls under humanitarian action and related issues. However the discussions will not be facilitated by the organizers of the Program, but driven by its members. For the program a separate ATHA Alumni group will be created within this Forum.

Within this context ATHA will have the role of operational management of the group, creating an opportunity for discussions between professionals and inform about activities within the ATHA program.

Please note also that the issues addressed does not repersent represent HPCR, HPCR International, Sida or any Swedish Governmental Policy, but provides a neautral space for reflection.

We do hope you will enjoy our ATHA Community Forum for your professional needs and development!
