“…The literature indicates that the humanitarian context of Myanmar is typical of other humanitarian contexts unfolding globally. For example, Emery's correspondence with Nova reveals overlapping crisis drivers of: war [20,21]; looming floods from the changes to the monsoon season [22][23][24]; people movement from either changes to climate or ensuing internal conflict or both [25][26][27]; health issues linked to climate changes [22,28] and, internal displacement [1].…”

As the world continues to witness increasing humanitarian crises, social work students are filled with a desire to help. International Field Education provides important preparation for social work students for a future whereby complex humanitarian contexts will inform their practice. In this chapter, we use a case study to introduce some of the humanitarian complexities social work students experience during International Field Education. We then show how an exchange between the student and the Field Educator is informed by intercultural awareness pedagogy. We break this pedagogy down into a suite of pedagogical principles. We use this exchange to complement and fill the gaps in existing research on how to improve intercultural awareness in students of the complexities that unfold during International Field Education and thereby set students up to have the foundational knowledge for future work.

“…Literature demonstrates the overlapping crisis drivers of war and conflict, mass migration, climate change, COVID-19 and racially inspired human rights violations are some of the main crisis drivers framing today’s humanitarian contexts. Wars are becoming more complex and internationalised and thus harder to unravel from global complexity ( Griswold et al , 2020 ; Tull, 2020 ). Violence is pushing non-government organisations (NGOs) to reconsider their operations in conflict areas and the norm to provide humanitarian assistance to whereever it is needed, is consistently being challenged and possibly modified ( Human Rights Watch, 2019 ; Nicoson et al , 2019 ).…”

“…Violence is pushing non-government organisations (NGOs) to reconsider their operations in conflict areas and the norm to provide humanitarian assistance to whereever it is needed, is consistently being challenged and possibly modified ( Human Rights Watch, 2019 ; Nicoson et al , 2019 ). Countries with fragile governments, economies and geographies ricochet from one crisis to the next ( UNOCHA, 2019 ; Griswold et al , 2020 ; Przybyla and Kathman, 2020 ; ). Many countries caught up in conflict or natural disasters with inadequate health care systems are weakened further by the lack of resources to deal with treatable diseases like malaria, let alone global pandemics such as COVID-19 ( Adom et al , 2020 ; Truelove et al , 2020 ).…”

Unprecedented trends of complex humanitarian contexts are unfolding globally, and they are driven by numerous humanitarian crisis drivers. Two of the more recent and ongoing crisis drivers are the Coronavirus Pandemic 2019 and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. While the pandemic has already caused a direct impact on unprepared health systems and caused secondary havoc on already fragile countries, the BLM movement has exposed the deeply held structural inequalities experienced by populations who do not identify as Western European. Both crisis drivers have also exposed the structural problems that have long underpinned humanitarian responses. To prepare for these complexities in humanitarian contexts, social work educators need to respond to the loud outcry for holistically educated and critically reflective social work practitioners. We argue this can be achieved through an Intercultural Social Work Curriculum informed by First Nations world views to enable a shift in student mindset from Western thought, setting the foundations for professional intercultural practice in complex humanitarian contexts.
