READ THE LATEST ABOUT LEARNING IN THE BIOSPHERE
Education and collaborative learning is a key factor in the sustainable development agenda and Biosffer Dyfi Biosphere has the potential to be an exemplary model for delivering these priorities.
The Dyfi Biosphere offers a number of opportunities for the Education and Training sector, particularly in the themes of environment, culture and sustainable development.
A workshop for education & training providers was held on 2nd October 2008 at Plas Dolguog, Machynlleth. The Report ("Sharing the message of the Dyfi Biosphere") identifies widespread support for creating an educators' network.
A second meeting was held on 9th December 2008. The Report (“Defining and delivering the message of the Dyfi Biosphere”) identifies three new action groups who have agreed to take forward three distinct work streams to enhance the provision of formal and informal education and training within the Dyfi Biosphere area.
1. Enhance the formal education offer. A working group will organise a meeting for all stake holders who could provide INSET training or learning experiences for children and young people (primary and secondary school pupils) and will explore ways of developing and securing funding for 4 day INSET training.
2. Develop an integrated interpretation plan for the Dyfi Biosphere. A working group will begin to develop an Interpretation Framework, which is participatory & gathers ideas so sites interpret what is important for the communities & people of the Dyfi Biosphere.
3. Develop school / farm links, for regular visits & “hands on”, experiential learning in the outdoor classroom. A working group will develop proposals to present to the Dyfi Biosphere Partnership for mutual support / endorsement, and begin to recruit appropriate farms.
