On Thursday 9 June 2016 ProPark Foundation for Protected Areas organized a meeting with the students of the Forestry and Forest Exploitation Department within Transilvania University in Brașov, in order to promote and launch the online course platform for the general public and future managers of natural resources in Romania.

The meeting provided students with the opportunity to become familiar with the online course platform www.proparktraining.ro, to test an online lesson with field applicability, to discuss with ProPark trainers and learn more about the NGO environment as a partner for long term vocational training.

“We are the main training provider for protected areas and conservation in Romania, while also playing an active role in European and global networks aiming to develop the professional capacity of protected area and conservation staff. Our intention for the future is to further support the young generation of professionals with scholarships and mentoring, high quality vocational training activities, counselling and technical support, as partner of the specialized universities in Romania and collaborator in academic programmes”, said Tiberiu Chiricheș, ProPark manager.

The vocational training programme is organized within the project “Enhancing education opportunities in the field of sustainable development for protected area managers in Romania”, funded by DBU - Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt.
