Alumni Stories
The humanitarian training reinforces your confidence.
De pre-deployment training is zeer waardevol voor mijn uitzending naar Irak. De trainers zijn zeer kundig, de onderwerpen zijn goed opgebouwd en er is veel praktijktraining.
Following a training at Clingendael was on my bucketlist.
The group work teaches you to think in many different ways
This training does not only contribute to my organisation, but also to the pursuit of peace.
It is my responsibility now to teach these skills to others
The negotiation training exceeded my expectations
I improved my methodology of delivering trainings and my concept of mediation.
De LBB is interessant voor een hele grote groep. Mensen die zich willen omscholen richting internationale betrekkingen, juist verdieping zoeken of aan het begin van hun internationale carrière een vliegende start kunnen gebruiken - zoals ik.
The best thing about this training was that we were going to do simulation exercises in addition to the theoretical part. I loved those simulations.
De LBB was een fantastische periode met verdieping, ontwikkeling van vaardigheden en mooie vriendschappen.
"Ik ben vrij nieuw op het gebied van cybersecurity. Ons werk is niet primair om oplossingen te bedenken of uit te voeren, maar het stimuleren daarvan. Ik was meer op zoek naar iets om meer te begrijpen van de wereld om cybersecurity heen, dan dat ik echt een cursus cybersecurity zelf wilde doen."
'De vriendschappen die ontstaan met mensen uit heel verschillende disciplines zijn heel waardevol.
"If I encounter an unfamiliar culture tomorrow, I now feel better equipped to engage in meaningful conversations."
