STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION – WILDSKILLS EU

With Eramsus+ funding, we developed practical wildlife identification and communication courses, which were taught virtually. They were aimed at current and recently graduated University students, with the goal of providing key skills which are important in the professional market. When distance learning was completed, participants had the opportunity to join in in a funded mobility to further develop those skills.

Uniquely, some of the courses involved the loan of survey equipment so that participants could practice their skills while joining live learning sessions spread over 6-weeks.

1ST OF NOVEMBER TO THE 10TH OF DECEMBER, 2021

We ran our course “Nature journals: how to sketch and record nature” for the project. The course opened on the 1st of November, 2021, and focused on observing and registering nature through art, running for 6 weeks. We saw 16 participants from Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, Hungary and the United Kingdom participate.

Some of the resulting art from the course:
