Abstract

As the complexity and scale of humanitarian crises continue to grow, equipping the next generation of humanitarian professionals with robust knowledge and skills has become increasingly critical. Sphere, a global organisation that promotes quality and accountability in humanitarian response through its widely recognised Sphere Handbook, focuses on enhancing the knowledge and application of these standards globally, facilitating better cooperation among organisations, and ensuring that lessons learned are effectively applied to improve humanitarian outcomes. Although Sphere has expanded its network within education settings since its establishment in 1997, there has been limited research undertaken to explore this relationship. Therefore, the research project aims to apply a multi-faceted approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of current educational practices and identifies areas for improvement by addressing the overarching question: How best to equip the next generation of humanitarians and improve humanitarian assistance in the future?
