On the 1st of February www.proparktraining.ro, the platform for online courses will be reopened for the next Protected Area Specialists in Romania. The main facts to encourage participants to enroll are a flexible schedule, an interactive learning process and, most important, a pertinent content, with high relevance for protected area domain (topics & practice).

The third online session will be accessible to 49 selected participants, that have been targeted amongst people, directly or indirectly, involved in the management of Protected Areas, as well as enthusiastic and motivated students that want to start working for Protected Areas.

During 6 weeks of intensive study within the virtual platform, the students will be evaluated, and,  based on the results, the first 15 students will participate at a ”face to face” session, in order to become certified Protected Area Specialists in Romania.

In the meantime, a lot of work needs to be done: all the feedback and experience received in 2015 are put together, all the materials are improved, in order to create a dynamic and “fresh” way of learning, respecting accurately the Propark mission. ”This is a real challenge for all the trainers who are working right now, discussing solutions, exchanging experiences – especially after the training events – , all to improve the content and offer a better experience of learning  on the online platform”, said Georgiana Andrei, Project Manager.

The platform is developed within the project „Increasing education opportunities on sustainable development for Protected Area managers in Romania“, implemented by Propark Foundation for Protected Areas with the help of EUROPARC Federation and supported by DBU - Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (German Federal Foundation Environment).
