Description

To mark World Humanitarian Day, this event explored the motivations of humanitarian aid workers from a range of different backgrounds and organisations. We heard from experienced practitioners as they reflected on their careers, revealed how and why they got involved and share their perspectives on the changing landscape of humanitarian aid. The event preceded the second National Memorial for Humanitarian Aid Workers, held at Westminster Abbey later that afternoon.
