The Centre for Humanitarian Leadership

The Centre for Humanitarian Leadership (CHL) is an educational arm of Deakin University that works in collaboration with Save the Children.

CHL are transforming humanitarian leaders through their accredited university courses and influencing how humanitarian organisations, and the system, respond to the increasingly complex humanitarian environment.

The brief:

CHL initially engaged with us to work on branding and design strategy for their annual Humanitarian Leadership Conference (HLC). They wanted to utilise CHL’s brand assets and colours in a fresh and exciting way that would attract world-renowned impact leaders and a global audience. After a very successful event, we have continued our relationship with the CHL, helping them take their design assets to a new level.

Projects include:

2021 and 2023 HLC conference branding and collateral, including: logo and secondary brand illustrations, social assets and templates, conference Prospectus, web banners, event page graphics, Zoom backdrop, presentation template and Impact Report

2020 Annual Report (first ever for the Centre)

Capacity statements brochures and sustainable printing

How is this ethical?

CHL champions collaborative humanitarian action that supports the agency of affected communities, elevates local actors, and promotes social justice.

The Centre adopts a hybrid approach to education and practical humanitarian experience, delivered through a leadership lens. They offer a range of services, including:

Accredited university education courses and pathways through Deakin University

Academic research and policy

Globally recognised events and proven engagement expertise.

The result is a rich and diverse community of leaders dedicated to teaching, understanding, analysing, demonstrating, and constantly refining what it means to be an effective humanitarian leader.

In addition, the 2021 Humanitarian Leadership Conference held in April 2021 (online for the first time) was a huge success! More than 1000 delegates from across 80 different countries came together to explore what a genuinely transformed humanitarian system looks like, from the actors involved and ways of working to the very definition of what constitutes a humanitarian crisis.

Ethical Design Co. is a proud partner of CHL and a huge supporter of all the wonderful work the Centre is doing in the global humanitarian and educational sectors.
