Master Communication Des Organisations — Communication, Humanitaire, Solidarités

Organizational communication applied to the humanitarian and solidarity sector examines how nonprofit organizations, NGOs and public bodies communicate their missions, mobilize support and coordinate action around social causes. The Master Communication Des Organisations — Communication, Humanitaire, Solidarités, delivered by Université Lumière - Lyon 2 in Bron, situates the broader discipline of organizational communication within this specific context, covering how communication strategies are adapted to fundraising, advocacy, volunteer mobilization and public awareness campaigns. Students typically study communication theory, project management, fundraising communication, media relations and the ethical and practical considerations specific to humanitarian and solidarity work. Coursework in this kind of program often combines classroom learning with case studies drawn from nonprofit and humanitarian communication, addressing how organizations balance public messaging with the realities of field operations and limited resources. Graduates commonly pursue careers as communication officers, project coordinators, fundraising managers or advocacy specialists within NGOs, associations, foundations and international solidarity organizations, as well as public institutions working in related areas. The program runs for two years and is taught in French, so applicants should be prepared to study and communicate professionally in that language throughout. Classes are expected to begin in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR according to the university. Bron, situated within the Lyon area, is part of a region with an active network of associations and nonprofit organizations connected to humanitarian and solidarity work.
