SESSION

IUFRO-SPDC Exhibition Space

The Capacity Development and Education team from CIFOR-ICRAF is collaborating with IUFRO to show-case CIFOR-ICRAF’s work on Restoration Education. The IUFRO-SPDC exhibition space features diverse and interactive activities throughout the duration of the conference, show-casing partners’ projects on forest and landscape restoration (FLR) from around the world and sharing experiences and insights on strengthening capacities on FLR. 

This session hosted together with partners from five African Universities in Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda and Malawi aims to present and discuss the strategic dissemination and uptake of its co-developed blueprint and modular content forming a Pan-African Restoration Education curriculum. Following collectively defined principles of transformative education, Restoration Education strives to bridge practice- and competence-based education with flexible assessment and life-long learning, amongst others to strengthen landscape professionals ability to lead the way across the restoration sector.
