    This session will present two case studies on how Farmer Field Schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) build capacities – knowledge, skills and attitudes – in young and adult populations in a changing forestry sector. To stay relevant, such capacity development need to adjust and improve, for example by increasing ecological literacy at local level. Learning-by-doing and farm-based experimentation are important methods.

    This breakout session will aim to centre the critical role of traditional, local, and indigenous knowledge in forest and environmental management at local and global scales. Innovative approaches will be explored to encourage conversation on how these knowledge systems can be respectfully and consensually utilised and credited within formal and non-formal forest education. The session will also seek to determine pathways for capturing and promoting synergies between traditional and scientific knowledge and strengthening of such harmonized knowledge systems.

    The use of digital tools has become an increasing trend for people around the world in their day-to-day dealings. There is firm belief that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, urgent measures need to be in place to ensure several societal priorities are addressed, which include, amongst many others, food and health where continued access to education and training, including on forestry, is imperative to avoid bottlenecks towards sustainable development where priorities may have to be readjusted in the short, mid and longer-term. Particularly, on education, it has become very evident that digitalization has been one of the most important priorities for the global community, who fully realise that continued education through improved teaching techniques imparted online, even during unprecedented times, will better prepare younger generations to be more resilient to similar exigencies in future. This breakout session will aim to discuss relevant information on how to utilize the digital opportunities such as online course and practical software to improve the quality of forest learning. The session will be a most useful and suitable medium to disseminate and promote current efforts on the provision of inclusive and up-to-date digital opportunities for forest learning in a global setting. This will include the reflection from the current ongoing development of ITTO-FAO-IUFRO Online Course on Legal and Sustainable Supply Chains (LSSC). Another aim will also be to examine the potential shortcomings of online education/training with specific reference to forestry/SFM/timber industry.
