IHS in the Philippines - Refresher course for IHS alumni

Updates for Urban Professionals
For many years, IHS has organised regional refresher courses addressed to its alumni and other urban professionals thanks to the financial support provided by NUFFIC (Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education), aiming to increase the impact and prolong the effect of earlier training. The duration of these courses is usually 2 weeks and they are organised in close cooperation with a local organisation that also benefits from the wealth of experience brought by IHS staff and IHS alumni.

The courses refresh previous issues and fine tune participants’ experience and knowledge with current international policy practices and new issues that have emerged since their participation in courses in the Netherlands. The courses are very interactive. Participants have the chance to present their experiences and often this generates a rapid assessment of what is going on regionally. It is an excellent opportunity for networking and for assessing the impact of their previous training at IHS or elsewhere.
