5. Internationality: HOPE is an International Programme, with European (and not only European) lecturers and students, that unites quality, accessibility (affordable cost + scholarships) and flexibility (thanks to the eLearning + workshops formula, that makes it easier to attend).
6. Experience, History and Worldwide Network of the School: in a historical moment that sees humanitarian emergency become the new training business, the School provides its experience, contacts, relations, international community and the helpfulness of hundreds of fellows around the world.
7. Management Development Accelerator: if you were sitting on a table to negotiate your projects with the rebel force, what would you say and how would you do it? Are you able to pitch with a Company, or present the project to a Foundation? The managerial development feature "secures" you, allowing you to have basic skills in Conflict Management, Negotiation, Stress Management, Assertiveness, Public Speaking, Time and Organization Management.
