No results found.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. -

No results found.“Forestra”, a new online gateway to global forest education is currently being developed under the joint FAO-IUFRO-ITTO Project “Creation of a Global Forest Education Platform and Launch of a Joint Initiative under the Aegis of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests. As the world becomes more digitally connected, the opportunity for online resource access grows. Forestra is designed to facilitate this access to forest-related knowledge and information through an innovative semantic search function. Forestra is being set up with the following specific objectives: • Serving for global knowledge sharing and dissemination of information from and for all kinds of forest education institutes and forest educators; and • Providing linkages and enable interaction with other education, training and awareness initiatives around the world. The information on Forestra falls under three main categories, which can be filtered: • Tertiary Forest Education • Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), both long- and short-term • Forest-related Public Environmental Education This session will demonstrate the prototype Forestra and offer the opportunity to test the search function on a test dataset. -

No results found.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.
