ENVIRONMENT IN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

Improving Sustainable Development Project by Environmental Mainstreaming Techniques

 

There is a growing attention to environment both by public opinion and by economic, social and political
actors, public and private. Even for international cooperation, environmental issues and problems have
become a priority, as well as their concrete solution.
Such attention certainly derives from the sharpening of the negative impacts by human action on all
environmental aspects, on ecosystem services, until yesterday almost taken for granted by the majority.
But it also derives from a growth of awareness and culture in such matter, which is no longer reserved to
technical experts or activists motivated by more or less poetic ideals on nature conservation.

LEARNING METHODOLOGY

  • 7 main units on a weekly basis. Each lesson will be delivered in streaming video through the GoToWebinar platform, with the possibility to talk with the teacher and ask questions; active participation in virtual classroom and in fora (on Moodle Platform) is strongly encouraged; in case of impossibility to attend the lesson live, it will be possible to view the recording;
  • 4 workshops. The class of trainees will deal with specific themes, in dialogue with the teacher;
  • 4 exercises. They consist in the development of design documents or papers related to the design and are set up on real case studies;
  • final workshop in Rome, in the form of a seminar and round table of experts on environment and international cooperation;
  • learning materials. They are ppt of lessons and additional documents provided in pdf format, which will constitute, at the end of the course, a small electronic library.
  • intensive internship experience (optional) with a field mission in a working group

 

The 2019 edition confirms some strengths of previous editions and offers interesting novelties.
First of all, we will still have the contribution of practitioners and former trainees, coming from different
experiences, even in developing countries: this will allow us to work on realities and concrete projects (as
well as on numerous case studies), especially in workshops and exercises.
There will be a customised tutoring.

 

Then, on June 21st 2019, all the course trainees can take an active part in the V edition of the WORKSHOP
“ENVIRONMENT AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION” in Rome, with the participation of experts from
several official institutions operating in International Cooperation (for instance, in past editions officers
from FAO, WFP, WWAP, Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Italian Agency for
Development Cooperation, Italian Ministry of the Environment and of the Territory and Sea Protection, etc.
were panelists at the WS).
After the Rome Workshop, a selected number of trainees will live an intensive internship experience, also
with a field mission in a working group (see below). Last year the focus was on Philippines; this time, it will
be on Palestine.
