School for Human Security and State Security Governance
The School for Human Security and State Security Governance (SH3SG) is the educational and training arm of Human Security Solutions. It is designed to build local and international capacity in critical areas of post-conflict transformation, including security sector governance, human rights, rule of law, and transitional justice.
Through tailored training programs, field-based workshops, and strategic dialogue, the School empowers emerging leaders, civil society actors, government personnel, and international stakeholders to engage effectively in rebuilding inclusive, transparent, and accountable institutions.
We focus on equipping participants with the practical tools and critical thinking needed to navigate complex environments—where peacebuilding, justice, and security must go hand in hand.
Our areas of focus include:
- Governance of the security and justice sectors
- Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR)
- Transitional justice and reconciliation
- Conflict sensitivity and human rights
- Gender and human security
- Local administration and public sector accountability
With a strong emphasis on field immersion, our programs are based in Syria and neighboring regions, offering participants direct access to real-world challenges, local voices, and applied policy thinking.
Our target group for our courses are humanitarian workers, military personnel, international organisation personnel, diplomats, NGO workers, politicians, etc.
Our courses are for mid- or high career professionals, who have extensive field experience. Our method is through experiential learning, which means that the participants are sharing their best practices and lessons learned. We offer —tailored to our thematic areas such as security governance, transitional justice, and human security, the following courses:
- Foundations of Security Sector Reform (SSR) in Fragile Contexts

Our uniqueness and added value comes from the fact that we are giving these courses in the field, where we have direct access to the local affected population, authorities, UN agencies, academia, experts etc.
