Facilitated courses

We offer two types of courses: self-paced and expert-led facilitated courses.

Facilitated courses take place over several weeks and are designed primarily for U4 partner agencies and their guests. These courses combine expert input with self-study, assignments, and group discussions. Participation is based on an application process, where you’ll be asked to briefly explain your motivation for joining. Admission is not granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, participants are selected by course experts to ensure diversity in gender, geography, and professional background. Priority is given to U4 partners and their affiliates. Remaining places, if any, are offered to individuals working in civil society or NGOs.

Self-paced courses are open to everyone and typically take 1–2 hours to complete. You can explore the available options in our course catalogue.
