Debriefing

An essential part of cross cultural competency and capacity development, debriefing allows people to reflect on and share their experiences, to identify and apply lessons learnt to their workplace, life and future roles.

CCCID offers a general 1-2 day debrief workshop as well as specific debriefs for people who have left or been evacuated from conflict affected locations or communities. Debriefing services can be provided during assignments, at completion of a project cycle, or on return/re-entry.
