Training courses to work in an NGO, learning through exchange

• An exchange of culture and experiences

RealStep’s humanitarian partner missions are long-term, social development missions that aim to work hand in hand with local communities to improve living conditions. It is not about saving populations, but about knowing them, understanding them...it is a human adventure, a cultural discovery and teamwork towards a common goal. Working in an NGO allows you to acquire a more global vision of local and international issues while immersing yourself in different cultures.

• An exchange of skills

Social missions, solidarity projects or teaching projects could not advance or see the light of day without a real exchange of skills between participants, project coordinators and local communities. We go as much to invest and apply our skills to a development project as to receive. Working in humanitarian work abroad means learning new methods, acquiring knowledge about a different context, taking up cultural challenges, becoming familiar with new tools. This sharing of skills is fundamental for those who wish to work in an NGO, because it enriches both the individuals and the communities involved.
