A Peer Circle gives our Community members an opportunity to hold ongoing discussions with experienced peers about a particular topic or operational context, either through an online platform or at onsite events in regional hubs.

Participants chose a particular topic or operational situation to discuss with their peers within our Community of Practice. They benefit from individual attention and an opportunity for ongoing, long-term, collective peer support in planning their humanitarian negotiations. All the guidance offered is non-prescriptive, and is based on shared experiences.

Peer Circles are open to Community members who have previously taken part in a CCHN Peer Workshop on Humanitarian Negotiation.

Peer Circles themselves are free of charge, regardless of whether they are held online or onsite. However, the participants must bear any travel or accommodation costs incurred for an onsite Peer Circle. Funding support may be available for a limited number of applicants.

Only Community members who have completed a Peer Workshop on Humanitarian Negotiation can apply for a Peer Circle. They will receive an invitation from our regional Negotiation Support Specialists to join.
