Mission Needistan

“The value of the Mission Needistan experience lies in two key strengths: students discover roles and career paths in the humanitarian sector while being exposed to its challenges, seeking to understand potential situations that may arise and how to respond with appropriate solutions, positions and reactions. It is a moment of professional development as it simulates the realities of the field.”

“This session allowed us to discover the different humanitarian professions, the organisational structure of an NGO, and how it operates—from headquarters to the project field base, through coordination. It was also a great opportunity to see in practice how coordination takes place between the different departments of a humanitarian and international solidarity organisation.”

“Mission Needistan was a truly great experience for me. It first helped me understand the connections between the different humanitarian roles and the organisational structure (desk, capital, field base). Having a specific role and mission also allowed us to feel genuinely immersed and to build stronger connections with my classmates.”
