DESCRIPTION:Human life on Earth can only be sustained with the survival and proper functioning of natural systems\, especially forests. However\, large-scale deforestation and forest degradation takes place in many countries in the world. In other parts of the World\, the unstoppable process of urbanization increasingly leads to the physical and mental separation of people from nature. More and more this is resulting in total refusal of active measures in forests aiming at wood production. In political decision-making and economic processes\, you barely find representatives of forest related sciences. While we are exceeding the limits of our planet’s carrying capacity\, awareness of that wicked problem is limited and nature-based solutions are underrepresented in the political discussions on problem solving. What can professionals of higher forestry education and further education do against the unfavourable processes described here? How can the gap be bridged between the knowledge background and perceptions of forest scientists\, political decision makers and lay men? And how can this be used to adapt the contents of teaching and further education in forest and nature related disciplines? \nThese questions will be addressed in the SILVA Network Annual Conference\, held at the University of Sopron on April\, 11 – 13th 2023. The program includes inspiring presentations and a full-day excursion into the educational forests of Sopron University and the nearby national park. \nIt pays to be quick: An early bird rate applies until February 21st. Please also keep an eye at the deadline for abstract submission if you are interested to present. \nPlease go to the SILVA Network website to register.

The objective is to enable the youth community to exchange knowledge and gain more insights about international forest policies. \nThe conference will have well-known forest policy experts that will explain how forest policy works and bring real world examples. It is an opportunity to actively get involved in policy and learn how to make a difference. Meet other youth with similar interest\, network with policy expert and get inspired to take actions. \nThe event is planned on two days with different activities: \n\nWorkshop day: there will be three workshops on capacity building\, soft skills and interaction with experts\, exchange of skills knowledge outside the usual curriculum and networking with fellow students or early career scientists. The Living Library will be presented as an innovative format that raise awareness of the obstacles\, challenges or solutions other people faced in their professional lives.\n\n\nConference day: main focus on the importance of global forest policies\, what they have achieved\, and also where their limitations are. There will be an introduction to international Forest Policy\, the role of youth in forest policy\, with real-world examples of implemented forest policy\, finalizing with a Panel discussion with all major stakeholders.\n\nRegister here!
