Humanitarian Access & Principles - Near-Life

Supporting the humanitarian response in Ukraine

As one of the largest global humanitarian agencies supporting refugees, the Norwegian Refugee Council has been at the forefront of the response to the Ukrainian crisis.

Working in partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council, Near-Life have helped deliver a new, interactive learning project to support the humanitarian response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

This new interactive learning project is designed to promote a grounding in Humanitarian access and principles for the NRC’s agency partners on the ground in Romania.

Utilising a mixture of interactive video, decision based scenarios, documentary-style films and written content and quizzes, the course is being made available for free on the Humanitarian Leadership Academy’s Kaya platform. 

Rapid response in complex environments

Providing humanitarian assistance can be a challenging task as humanitarian organizations often work in complex environments.

The immersive learning scenarios, built using Near-Life’s interactive video authoring tool, are designed to support experiential learning – giving learners an opportunity to experience some of the most common situations faced around humanitarian access and principles.

Our response to the Ukrainian crisis has been a major undertaking and has involved working with a number of local partners in Ukraine, Romania, Poland and the Republic of Moldova. This project will help give our colleagues who are new to humanitarian response an effective grounding in some of the core principles around humanitarian access.
Carlo Gherardi, NRC’s Regional Director for Central & Eastern Europe
“We are very proud to have been able to support the work of NRC over a number of years. As one of the early adopters of our immersive learning technology, they understand the value of branching scenarios and interactive video for education. We’ve been delighted to work on this new project with the NRC team, which will hopefully support the humanitarian efforts underway during this incredibly difficult time.”

– Geseth Garcia, Near-Life co-founder
