Female Travel Safety

This course enables the female participant to plan and carry out travel activities and stays in countries where women must pay special attention to their own safety. We offer an inclusive and experience-based course, focusing on concrete tools for the female traveller. The course is conducted by experienced female instructors and involves a variety of theories and practical exercises.

Description

Our Female Travel Safety course is specifically designed with female travellers in mind, as women often face unique safety and security challenges while travelling for work. Whether it's navigating unfamiliar cultural norms, dealing with harassment or discrimination, or simply feeling vulnerable in unfamiliar surroundings, women can benefit from targeted training on how to protect themselves and stay safe during travel.

Our Female Travel Safety course is developed and delivered by individuals with a deep understanding of the unique safety and security challenges faced by female travellers, as well as practical experience in handling emergencies and critical incidents in a variety of different contexts.

From an organisational perspective, providing a travel safety course specifically tailored to the needs of female travellers demonstrates a commitment to the well-being and safety of all employees. It can also help to mitigate risk and protect the organisation's reputation by ensuring that female travellers are prepared to handle a range of potential safety and security issues while travelling.

The training addresses these issues head-on, providing concrete tips and strategies for handling a wide range of potential risks and challenges that female travellers may face. By empowering women with the knowledge and skills to take charge of their safety and security, we hope to promote a culture of confidence and resilience among female business travellers and help them thrive in any environment.

Target group

The training is designed and delivered to ensure travellers, and individuals with the responsibility for organising travel, travel risk management, and travel assistance can fulfil their responsibilities.

The course is applicable for a wide range of participants, from media professionals, charities, international non-governmental organisations, and national/international governmental stakeholders to all companies who find their employees travelling frequently.

Teaching and study methods

Taxonomic structure:

Our well-tested learning process builds around a learning structure that forms bridges between the different topics throughout the course. The learning structure ensures that the participant can implement and share their own experiences and tailor the content to a relevant travel pattern. We test the participants' newly gained skills and knowledge in exercises and small practical activities throughout the training.

     

The individual in focus:

The material and learning objectives focus on helping the individual to gain knowledge and skills. The individual course participant learns by participating in interactive group work, to create dialogue and reflection. The intention is to get the individual participant to engage and commit to the learning process through communication and cooperation with the other participants. By having this approach, we provide the opportunity for knowledge and experience sharing, to achieve greater depth in the learning outcome.
